After receiving devastating news about his dad, gleefully delivered by the school bully, Barry Gittings, a young lad causes mayhem in his close-knit mining community, leaving a trail of destruction and a bunch of furious gardeners and farmers in his wake... and his future looking hopeless. But one chilly autumn evening fate steps in when this troubled Yorkshire tyke, Joe Speight, is caught up in an awful incident and is forced to confront his reckless behaviour. Joe must make a choice and quickly... Will it be the right one? Could a deep bond with a remarkable horse, the warmth of unexpected friendships and the glimmer of new beginnings lead him from chaos to courage? Or will he let his past define him? Set in a rural mining village and against the rugged backdrop of the Yorkshire countryside, more than sixty years ago, Saving Joe is a heartwarming and spirited story of resilience, redemption and the transformative power of kindness. One choice. One chance. One unforgettable journey. Travel with our Yorkshire tyke through exciting and life-changing times and meet the exceptional Roberts family, a feisty fairground lass and a wonderful horse like no other.
Set in a rural mining village in post-war England, Saving Joe is the heart warming and redemptive tale of young Joe Speight.
