| book description |

One small act can make a big difference Violet Strong is strong by name but not by nature, or so she thinks. She listens but never talks about herself. She’s friendly but doesn’t have many real friends. She’s become good at keeping people at a distance ever since she left home at eighteen and never looked back. But when Violet is forced to return home to care for her estranged mother, Glenys, she quickly finds out that life as a carer isn’t easy. Feeling overwhelmed, she’s forced to turn to the other local carers, including childhood friend, Adam, for help. Although returning home still feels like a mistake, maybe it will help Violet right some wrongs. After all, she can’t keep running from her past forever, and in learning to look after others, perhaps Violet can start to finally love herself… Your favourite authors LOVE Jessica Ryn’s heartwarming novels: ‘Well-written and entertaining’ Katie Fforde, A Springtime Affair ‘Full of hope, love and kindness’ Kirsty Capes, Careless ‘Warm-hearted, moving and funny’ Frances Quinn, The Smallest Man ‘Had my heart from the first page’ Stephanie Butland, Lost For Words ‘Made me laugh and ugly-cry in the best possible way’ Freya Sampson, The Last Library ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Readers love Jessica Ryn’s heartwarming and uplifting books: ‘Perfect escapism’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The characters are so believable’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I was hooked from the first page’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Uplifting and joyous’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘This is a hug in book form that will give you all the feels’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘This story will melt your heart’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A story of warmth, kindness and forgiveness’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A truly heartwarming read’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
