The smallest things can change everything . . . THE KINDNESS PROJECT is the feel-good treat of a novel we all need more than ever! An uplifting and elegant novel about loss and love, mothers and daughters, kindness and community, it's perfect for fans of THE LIDO, THREE THINGS ABOUT ELSIE and THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS.

Step 1. Help the baker's ex-wife

Step 2. Find the true calling of the village shop owner

Step 3. Call a truce on a decades-old feud

Step 4. Forgive me . . . ?

The locals of the Cornish village of Polperran are grieving the sudden loss of Bea Kimbrel, a cornerstone of their small community.

Now her reclusive, estranged daughter Alice has turned up, keen to tie up Bea's affairs and move on.

But Alice receives a strange bequest from Bea - a collection of unfinished tasks to help out those in Polperran most in need.

As each little act brings her closer to understanding her mother , it also begins to offer Alice the courage to open her clamped-shut heart . Perhaps Bea's project will finally unlock the powerful secrets both women have been keeping . . .

THE KINDNESS PROJECT will draw you deep into the lives of two compelling women who should never have missed their chance to say goodbye. It will break your heart - and piece it back together again . . .
