Live Wires is a collection of accounts of real people, some of whose lives contain elements of shock or sadness, others surprise or the plainly unexpected. What they have in common is an encounter with Someone who was to change their lives for the better.

Inside, D.J. Carswell writes, you will meet a whole group of people with a little extra je ne sais quoi - something that marks them out from the crowd. The accounts are short and the book is cheap, which is the point: it exists to be handed to someone rather than shelved. A companion to Real Lives and A Passion for Life.
