A Single Act of Kindness: A breathtaking, emotional novel of love and friendship from Samantha Tonge for 2024

‘Inspiring, thought-provoking and incredibly moving – Samantha Tonge hit me straight in the heart with the wonderful tale of Tilda and Milo.’ No.1 bestselling author, Shari Low Meet Tilda Wright… Tilda has done everything she can to make her life neat, protected, tidy. No longer the girl who was scared of everything, whose family pushed her away, who hit rock bottom. Now she runs her life – as she does her successful business – with the utmost organization. As long as she keeps everyone at arm’s length, she will be fine. She will be safe.

But then a chance encounter with a man who’s fallen on hard times changes everything. Milo needs a break, and self-contained Tilda surprises herself by deciding she should help him. Just for a while. A few days at the most.

Maybe all he needs is someone to organize him, to help him clean up his act? She is sure she knows how to kick-start Milo into turning his life around.

What Tilda doesn’t know is that – with this single act of kindness – it might actually be her own life that’s about to change forever…

A totally gorgeous, heartbreaking and uplifting story, about friendship, trust, and finding love in unexpected places, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Shari Low and Faith Hogan.
