BACK OF THE BOOK BLURBAudrey Sawyer and Jonathan Dawson met when she was in kindergarten, and he was a second-grader who protected her from the class bully. They became awkward friends until he moved on to junior high.Their lives did not intersect again until they were young adults when they saw each other at a market, never recognizing each other, but both froze as their hearts remembered the heart of the other. Frightened by the moment, both let the chance encounter evaporate, but neither could forget the meeting. Years passed; Audrey and Jonathan met three more times, but neither realized they were the lost loves of the enchanting encounter in the grocery store. Clair, a long-time friend-girl of Jonathan decided she wanted to change her status to girlfriend; an innocent paradox for three would-be lovers.A Simple Act of Kindness is the story of love accidentally found, then hopelessly lost, perhaps forever.The reader is treated to an affectionate roller coaster ride of love and friendship with no end in sight. Then, finally, Jonathan and Audrey become romance-less best friends requiring a bit of heavenly assistance.The awkward friendship that was supposed to make them emotionally safe creates a confusing hunger for each other that both reject. Finally, a staged kiss forces the relationship to change, and now both are in romance's death grip, unable to escape and neither wanting to.Will this be Cupid's first loss?SYNOPSISMy story's title is A Simple Act of Kindness - an Old-Fashioned Love Story.The plot is of two strangers, Jonathan and Audrey, who do not know they've known since childhood. Audrey and Jonathan serendipitously meet at crucial points, and then life moves them along like ships passing in the night. Now, adults, they meet, but have not seen each other since they were 14 and 16 years old, respectively, and do not recognize each other. Something stirs during the first unexpected meeting since becoming adults, and they become casual friends but are unwilling to commit to anything more. Life throws them many curve balls, including another woman, Clair, from Jonathan's past, who also wants his affection. Other hurdles pop up, some evaded, a few catch them off guard, and deliciously present a complex gaggle of missed opportunities for the reader.The story is crafted so that the protagonists in the novel nor you, the reader, can predict the outcome(s). Nevertheless, the baked-in mystery tale creates what I hope will be a page-turner leaving you, the reader, hungry for resolution as each chapter concludes and the next opens to alternate possibilities.This novel gently tells how folks used to fall in love with just a touch of God and morality sprinkled in. What was normal in a relationship fifty years ago comes alive again in A Simple Act of Kindness.
