A Little Bit o' Magic

"It was like watching a risqu?version of Strictly Come Dancing. Danny Du Beke does the porno paso doble."

Danny Yates' initial meeting with Joanne Benstead, did not exactly go to plan. Not that Danny ever had a plan.

Overcoming rejection, as well as his ingrained lack of confidence, Danny is relentless in his efforts to capture Joanne's heart. And then, just when it finally appears to be within his grasp, fate intervenes with devastating consequences.

As the story unfolds, unforgettable characters emerge.

- Befriended by Danny, Michael is educated, articulate and living on the streets of Hull. Despite having fallen on hard times, he can still boast some very impressive hidden talents.

- Joanne's housemate Rosy is foul-mouthed, cynical and has a chip on her shoulder the size of the Humber Bridge. Fiercely loyal and often intimidating, she is also innately vulnerable.

- And then there's Kerry. An ICU nurse with a sledgehammer wit, a deplorable excess of personality and a bosom to match. Everyone loves Kerry.

Comedy is interspersed with emotion and genuine pathos. It is a timeless story about human frailty, overcoming life's hurdles and the irresistible power of love.

Will Danny and Jo find their little bit o' magic?
