Publisher's Summary

The BRAND NEW novel from Number 1 Bestselling author Beth Moran!

Growing up, sisters Libby and Nicky never knew who they’d find at breakfast.

Their parents fostered children of all ages, and although the girls loved playing their part in providing a safe haven, it meant that life was rarely peaceful.

Now as a single mother of two, Libby’s life is still anything but peaceful. In her work as an antenatal coach, as well as for the charity she and Nicky run for teenage mothers, Libby uses all the skills she learnt growing up surrounded by children. Her days are full, caring for her family, the mothers-to-be and the latest strays she has welcomed into her home. But in the dark of the lonely nights, Libby worries she’s falling apart at the seams.

One troubled boy and a reckless decision she made thirteen years ago still haunts her.

Two hearts that were broken, still not mended.

The time has come for Libby to look out for herself. As her family, friends and her community have known forever, Libby is one of a kind, and if she can just learn to love herself, she may be able to welcome back the love she let slip through her fingers.

Uplifting, heart-warming and irresistibly good for the soul, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

Different story

Beth Moran books can be great if dismal failures. Th it's one was a real hit. if there was any complaint was it felt a bit rushed in the end.

Great story that was really interesting. I loved that it dealt with some difficult subjects in a light manner but did glad similarly over them. after all this is a "feel good" read. There was dinner tears along the way as well. one child in this story was bloody annoying though!!!

Narration was superb.

Solid not exceptional

Somehow didn’t grab me as much as her previous books although it did improve about half way along. The flashback formula worked but the back story was a bit weak and I felt I’d heard that “teenage love that is serious and lasts” story line before from an earlier book.

Boring start but nice ending

I found this really hard to get into, the main character is painful but gets better from about halfway to end well, although very predictable.
