What starts as a ridiculous stunt becomes a life-changing journey filled with strange encounters, surprising friendships, and the unexpected realization that love might be right under his nose. With humor, heart, and a dash of absurdity, Luke discovers that sometimes, the biggest adventure is learning to appreciate the little things and rethink what—and who—truly matter.

From the acclaimed author of The Wolf in the Woods, Thank You for the Days is an entertaining novel about finding meaning in the everyday and learning to live with purpose.
