Random Acts of Kindness [B1413]

2014 PB in nice clean condition. Claire Petrenko always knew it was coming. Breast cancer has already claimed both her mother and her younger sister. Now, as she cobbles the pieces of her life back together, the devastating family legacy returns, and Claire receives the same diagnosis. So when her old friend Jenna Hogan suddenly shows up at her door-like a fairy godmother offering to grant a wish-Claire seizes the chance to revisit her past . . . and salvage her future. What begins as an impulsive trip soon becomes an odyssey as the women cross the country, gathering friends as they make their way to their childhood home of Pine Lake. There, they discover that Jenna's random act of kindness has rippled out into the world like a stone dropped into a pond, surging back to transform all their lives in ways they never expected.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Wow! What a great "feel good" novel. Several high school friends gather in their 30's to take a road trip back to where they used to live. There are several interesting stories along the way. I definitely recommend this novel for an enjoyable read."; "Better than expected. It did include the adventures I expect in a book about a road trip but had much more depth to it. One of my favorite road trip books I've read and I love road trip books!"; "I love a good girls fictional tale about besties helping each other. This book had it all, cancer, infidelity, road trip, secrets, and so much more. I loved the storytelling, the character development and I thought the author did a great job just moving the book forward with the road trip. I will look for more books by this author in the future."
