Tilda's Promise

“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
