About the Book

In a similar vein to The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews or Dinner with a Perfect Stranger by David Gregory, The Baggage Handler is a contemporary story that explores one question: What baggage are you carrying?

Three people take a flight that will change their lives forever.

Fresh off a run-in with his wife, harried businessman David disembarks the plane angry and impatient.

Gillian thought she would be more excited about coming to her niece’s wedding, but she is just hoping to survive.

Malcolm has gambled everything on this trip to start his fledgling artistic career. To him, failure means working in hardware in what his father calls “a real job.”

After each picks up the wrong suitcase, they make their way to a mysterious baggage depot in a deserted part of the city. There they meet the Baggage Handler, who shows them there is more in their baggage than what they have packed.

A simple baggage mix-up at the airport is more than an inconvenience when it forces three people to face the baggage they are unknowingly carrying around.

Here is what I thought.....
I have really enjoyed this book. The writing is done very well. I enjoyed each of the characters. The idea behind this book is very fascinating. I really liked how the author weaved the story together and painted the picture of who the baggage handler is. The way the author brought out how we all deal with our own baggage was done very well as well. I would very much enjoy reading more by this author. I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
