Little Acts of Love
What you need to know before your trail
Almost five months have passed since Phoebe and Jack first met in the grotto of a drunken Santa at Hendry’s toy store in Millrise. Since then, Jack and his adorable daughter, Maria, have turned Phoebe’s life around. As she and Jack get closer, Phoebe decides it’s time to put her stagnating career back on track too, which means going for a big promotion at work.
But nothing is ever simple in the strange little world of Hendry’s, and Phoebe is soon wishing she’d stayed on the tills. At home, things aren’t much better as the couple brace themselves to meet their respective in-laws. It’s clear from the start that making friends and influencing people has never been harder. And to make it worse, Phoebe must compete for the affection of Jack’s parents with the perfect partner and mother – who’s been dead for five years…

Millrise, England
Fictional but doesn’t it sound lovely?
She couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. Along with Jack and Maria, the strange archaic toy store that had stood on the High Street of Millrise for almost a hundred yeas had dragged her back from a void that had opened up with Vik’s death and had nearly swallowed her whole
“Hendry’s have been selling today and game fro the children of Millrose for almost a hundred years but they’ve never really moved with the times and are being threatened by multinational toy companies and the internet They need someone to look after their PR and to work in bringing them into the 21st century.”
That toy store at the heart of Millrise village is where the story starts, wraps around everything within the four MillRise novels and….well, where does it end?
Tilly Tennant was born in Dorset, the oldest of four children, but now lives in Staffordshire with a family of her own. She’s had years of dismal and disastrous jobs, all of which probably led to the creation of Millrise and the characters in it.
