The Kindness of Strangers

This novel about the dark past that haunts a seemingly happy household is “an intricate portrayal of love and loss, redemption and revenge” (Anne Coates, author of Songs of Innocence).

Helen, a widow, is desperate for a perfect family life and will do everything she can to get what she wants.

Martin, a veteran, is adrift and seemingly without hope. Can he ever win back his estranged family?

Charley, a pregnant teenager, is striking out on her own to create a new life for her unborn child—but her mother has other ideas.

When these three seemingly disparate lives connect, the past and the present collide to reveal secrets, lies, and just how far people are willing to go to hide the truth . . .
