Scarlet Ribbons

by Brendan Murray

When a lonely elderly woman catches a teenage boy in her home, what begins as a standoff slowly blossoms into an unlikely friendship. Over five poignant days, Dorothy and PJ navigate whisky errands, war stories, and painful memories, finding humor, warmth, and healing in each other’s company. Blending gentle fantasy and sharp social insight, Scarlet Ribbons is a moving intergenerational tale about trust, resilience, and the redemptive power of connection.
