About this ebook

Heart-warming, uplifting and heartbreakingly honest, One Good Thing is an alternative love story about finding happiness and showing that sometimes you only need one good thing to turn your life around. From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of So, I Met This Guy . . . and Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up.

In life, nothing is certain. Just when you think you have it all figured out, something can happen to change the course of everything . . .

Liv Brooks is still in shock. Newly-divorced and facing an uncertain future, she impulsively swaps her London Life for the sweeping hills of the Yorkshire Dales, determined to make a fresh start. But fresh starts are harder than they look and, feeling lost and lonely, she decides to adopt Harry, an old dog from the local shelter, to keep her company.

But Liv soon discovers she isn’t the only one in need of a new beginning. On their daily walks around the village, they meet Valentine, an old man who suffers from loneliness who sits by the window. And Stanley, a little boy who is scared of everyone, who hides behind the garden gate. And Maya, a teenager who is angry at everyone and everything. But slowly things start to change . . .
