A Measure of Kindness

Ally Malcom made a bold choice after the pandemic, leaving her nursing career behind and relocating to coastal North Carolina. Gifted with her late grandmother's beach house by her family, Ally seeks a fresh start, but fate has even bigger plans. She unexpectedly finds herself on a journey that intertwines her past with the lives of others: a newfound friendship with a neighbor, a chance meeting with love on a quiet beach, and a deepening connection to a mystery that she had forgotten about until the forces of nature brought it back to life.

In 1991, Anna Strickland fled an abusive relationship with her three children, seeking refuge at a local shelter. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle, thanks to the compassion of strangers. The lives of Anna and her children veered onto unexpected paths-paths that would eventually cross with Ally's in ways no one could have predicted.

When the skeletal remains of Katie Morgan, a missing nursing student from 1991, wash ashore, it sets in motion a series of events that brings four generations of families together, once strangers, united by a single purpose: to uncover the truth about what happened to Katie on that fateful November day.

In A Measure of Kindness, the boundaries between past and present blur as strangers, bound by kindness and fate, begin to heal old wounds. The novel explores the power of human connection and the profound impact that reaching out to others can have on both the heart and the soul.
