What can you do to make the world a better place?

It may seem strange that I've opened my blog post with a question, but it's actually the one thing that encompasses the entire story of a brand new up-and-coming novel from the talented Lucy Dillon. Lucy has written a book that is released April 23rd, 2015, and it's called One Small Act of Kindness. 
When I received it from the lovely people at Hodder, I couldn't wait to start reading it. I opened the book and intended to read only a few lines to get a taste of the style and opening of this beautiful book. But I literally just kept turning the pages - talk about a Page Turner of a book! 
Let me share with you the description of this delightful and soul questioning book that will have you wondering what you can do to make the world around you a better place. 



Libby and her husband Jason have moved back to his hometown to turn the family B&B into a boutique hotel. They have left London behind and all the memories - good and bad - that went with it.
The injured woman Libby finds lying in the remote country road has lost her memory. She doesn't know why she came to be there, and no one seems to be looking for her.
When Libby offers to take her in, this one small act of kindness sets in motion a chain of events that will change many people's lives . . .





I'm not going to go into too much detail about what happens yet as I will be posting up a full review very soon. But what I will say is that it starts with Libby struggling to locate the reservation details of a couple who booked to stay at the B&B. They don't appear to be on the system, but then again, Jason's Mum always booked in reservations in the Book. The entire B&B come Boutique Hotel in the making is upside down because Libby is in the process of the DEEP CLEAN and we ladies know what that means... Organised CHAOS of course ;) 

Just when things seemed to be slowly resolving themselves, there is an almighty and terrible accident right outside of the Boutique Hotel, and Libby runs to see what's happened and if she can help. ...
