The only thing holding Jerry Lane together is a forgotten 1970s rock song.

Borderless has followed him his entire life—long after its creator, Flagstop, disappeared without a trace. Now in his sixties, with his job gone and his marriage behind him, Jerry decides to find the man who shaped him from afar.

What he finds is not a legend, but a frail old man in a run-down care home. Convinced the music once saved him, Jerry decides it’s time to return the favor.

What follows is a bond forged in stubborn devotion—and growing guilt.

As Jerry settles into the role of caretaker, a late brush with recognition threatens the fragile sense of grace he’s begun to build.

Nursing Flagstop is a quietly powerful novel about aging, regret, and the deeply human need to matter.
