Full of compassion and hope, Paper Cup is a story about how easy it can be to fall through the cracks, and what it takes to turn around a life that has run off course, from award-winning author Karen Campbell.

What if going back was the only way of going forward? Rocked by a terrible accident, homeless Kelly needs to escape the cold streets of Glasgow. Maybe she doesn’t believe in serendipity, but a rare moment of kindness and a lost ring conspire to call her home. As Kelly vows to reunite the ring with its owner, she must return to the small town she fled so many years ago. On her journey from Glasgow to the south-west tip of Scotland, Kelly encounters ancient pilgrim routes, hostile humans, hippies, book lovers and a friendly dog, as memories stir and the people she thought she’d left behind forever move closer with every step.

'[A] poignant and harrowing read. Campbell gambles on our empathy when she shows Kelly at her worst, and she wins because she has written, without judgment or criticism, an original and memorable protagonist ...'
The Guardian

'Paper Cup is very special indeed. Not only is it exquisitely written – and I mean catch-your-breath exquisite – the story is so real and told with such grace and compassion ... Trust me (trust me), your world will be a better place for reading this story.'
Joanna Cannon, Sunday Times bestselling author

'Glowing with empathy and wry intelligent wit. Let Kelly into your life. She'll change you, and you won't forget her.'
Kirstin Innes, author of Fishnet
