Before Anyone Asked

By Justis

Before Anyone Asked is a heartwarming modern fable about the quiet people who make life easier without ever waiting to be noticed.

In Maple Hollow, Joe is known for his rattling old toolbox, his sarcastic remarks, and his habit of fixing things before anyone asks. A crooked fence, a squeaky gate, a loose step-Joe notices, mutters something under his breath, and gets to work.

With Frank, his winged black cat, always nearby, Joe moves through the village solving small problems that make a big difference. But when the villagers finally stop to notice all he has done, Joe discovers that kindness does not have to be loud to matter.

Tender, funny, and full of warmth, Before Anyone Asked is a story about quiet kindness, reluctant heroes, and the everyday magic of showing up for others.
