“A heartwarming novel that respects grief and honors the special bond between a grandparent and grandchild.”
―Kirkus Reviews
“Jean P. Moore is a fine storyteller. She writes about the push and pull between the generations, and about loss and renewal, with great insight and a generous heart.”
—Hilma Wolitzer, author of An Available Man
“Tilda’s Promise reminds us that just when we give up, life intrudes; and just as we lose hope, we can find it again―if we take a chance. In this heartfelt novel, Tilda does just that, showing us all the power of family and love.”
—Ann Hood, author of The Book That Matters Most
“An unusual parallel coming-of-age story, as grandmother and granddaughter each grapple with loss. Moore writes with a sharp eye for emotional detail and voice, establishing her complex characters as familiar and dear as your next-door neighbor.”
—Ellen Meeropol, author of Kinship of Clover
“An intriguing and intimate account of a woman as she navigates the many challenges after the sudden death of her beloved husband. This authentic read sweeps you along as Tilda rediscovers life’s passion and purpose with some surprising help from her troubled granddaughter.”
—Christine Crosby, editorial director, GRAND Magazine
“Moore writes adeptly, inserting touching humor in difficult situations. It is a tender story, delving into lifelong relationships with spouses, friends, children, and how they change over time . . . would make a great book-club read, as the discussion questions provided could lead groups to delve into matters usually kept private.”
—San Francisco Book Review
“VERDICT Readers who can relate to loss and family trials will enjoy Tilda's emotional journey.”
―Library Journal
“Tilda Carr and her granddaughter Tilly are doing their best after the passing of Tilda’s husband, coming together to grieve the man they both loved. Through their grief and sorrow, these two strong women will find their way to healing and remembrance in order to find true happiness and even a new beginning.”
