The Light a Candle Society

<p><b>''LIFE-AFFIRMING AND FULL OF LOVE'' </b>Celia Anderson<br><br><b>A TOP TEN KINDLE BESTSELLER ABOUT THE POWER OF KINDNESS.</b><br><br>George McGlory is showing off his new shirt to his wife, Audrey. It''s got bright-orange parrots on, but he knows she won''t say anything. He''s talking to the headstone at her grave. Audrey passed away two years ago, and George is still muddling through.<br><br>Across the cemetery he sees a lonely coffin with only council pallbearers in attendance. Mrs Kathleen Hooley was eighty-nine and she died safe and warm in her own bed, but had no friends or family to organise a funeral - or even send flowers.<br><br>Even through his own grief, George is deeply touched by Kathleen''s lonely funeral. No one should be sent out of this world alone, surely?<br><br>Not on George''s watch. With the help of his friends, he creates the Light a Candle Society, to make sure <i>no one</i> is forgotten. It might just remind him that there''s still light in his life, too . . .<br><br><b>An uplifting story of how compassion, kindness and care can shine a light in the darkest of times, perfect for fans of Mike Gayle, Ruth Jones, Jennie Godfrey or Graham Norton.</b><br><br>Praise for Ruth Hogan:<br><b>''WARM, COMPASSIONATE, WITTY'' Mike Gayle</b><br><b>''MAGICAL . . .
