Amazing Interview of author, Linda Green.

This is a great interview, I read Linda's book and thought it was deeply moving. The hardback was out in February 2023 and the paperback will be out in August 2023. I have since read two more of her books which didn't affect me quite as deeply but were still brilliant.

I have just read 'One Moment' by this author which was also brilliant.

One Moment

'Ten-year-old Finn, a quirky, sensitive boy, is having a rough time at school and at home. Outspoken Kaz, who has a sharp sense of humour and a heart of gold, is working at the café when Finn and his mum come in. They don't know it yet, but the second time they meet will be a moment that changes both of their lives forever.....'

A wonderful book, sharing Linda Green's deep compassion for human beings in all walks of life. Written in a way I haven't read before but making it compelling and an un-putdownable read.
