    About this audiobook

    ‘Wonderfully uplifting’ Trisha Ashley

    It only takes a moment to change a life for ever…

    Fern is too busy making sure other people feel good about themselves to give much thought to her own happiness. But somehow, without her noticing, life has run away from her.

    Suddenly, Fern realises her vintage clothes business is struggling, and the casual relationship she’d always thought she was happy in doesn’t look so appealing.

    But sometimes, karma really does come through. And when Fern goes out of her way to help 85-year-old Dinah, little does she realise their new friendship will change her life.

    Dinah may have troubles in her past, but she’s lived and loved to the full. Can Dinah show Fern that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the world a better place?

    If you liked 59 Memory Lane or The Library of Lost and Found, you'll love this feel-good book!
