An Autumn Promise by Helen Rolfe

A little kindness can go a long way. . .

It’s a season of change in Mapleberry Lane. Veronica Beecham’s life has been turned upside down by the arrival of her teenage granddaughter, and with her estranged daughter Sam now living under her roof, she might have a chance to bring her family back together – if only they can learn to live with each other…

Veronica’s neighbour Charlie, and his bubbly little girl, Layla, have been her lifeline for the last few years – and when Sam and Charlie strike up a connection, it seems there might be fireworks this autumn. Could the handsome paramedic heal Sam’s bruised heart?

Meanwhile, Audrey is determined to find ways to help her gran reconnect with the world, even if she isn’t brave enough to step outside her cottage. The kindness club they’ve formed is already doing good in the community, but is it enough to make Audrey feel that she belongs?

Whatever happens, sparks are going to fly in Mapleberry…
