Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She made room for everyone. Now she must make room for herself.In Montego Bay, Sia Clarke spends her days making dresses, teaching girls to sew, and keeping her late mother's little shop alive. Everyone knows her wonderful smile. Few notice the long hours behind it-or the dreams she keeps putting aside.Then a trusted friend spends a bride's fabric deposit.With a wedding approaching, Sia uses her own savings to protect the business her mother built. But covering the loss costs more than money. One frightened lie threatens a customer's trust, and a steep rent increase leaves her wondering how much longer she can hold everything together.Meanwhile, Jonah Reid, a quietly funny joiner, offers the possibility of love. Accepting his affection means allowing someone to see the woman who needs support, too.To move forward, Sia must have the conversations she has been avoiding-with her friend, her family, and herself. Can she remain generous without giving away her future?Set in Jamaica, Sia: A Good Heart and a Wonderful Smile is a heartfelt short read about complicated friendship, family grief, forgiveness, and finding the courage to begin again.A standalone novella of approximately 10,000 words, with gentle romance and no explicit sexual scenes.
