Missy is a grumpy, antisocial old lady whose life is transformed by the kindness of the community.

The story is told from Missy’s point of view and you slowly learn about Missy’s past and discover the reasons for her behaviour.

This is an easy read and the characters are good. There’s a mix of personalities and you feel you get to know the main characters quite well, I could even picture her little dog.

For almost half the book I didn’t warm to Missy at all but I ended up really liking her character. She changes from grumpy to funny and vivacious.

From a chance meeting in the park, Missy ends up making a lot of new friends, gets a dog and learns to live her life again.

This is a heart warming story but the cynic in me wonders if people would really be so helpful and kind to someone they haven’t known that long.

I would recommend this and would read more from this author.
