My thoughts on A Secret Gift
An uplifting, feel-good tale of love, hope, and joy.
A Secret Gift is the perfect book to read at the beach, by a winter fire, and anytime between.
Joy is devastated by the death of her firefighter husband. In the three years since he passed, she has withdrawn into a shell. Hope, a resident in the care home Joy works at, gives her a unique gift before she dies. Joy is uncertain if she believes it or not.
Life blossoms again for Joy when she learns to accept her newfound gift.
It isn’t easy to write much about the book without giving away the magic. But, I can tell you, this tale will touch your soul. It reaches deep into your heart and gives hope and joy. There are those two lovely words that play such an essential role in the book.
While the cover is beautiful, after reading the book, the symbolism is striking. The writing is smooth and well-paced, and the descriptions of Cornwall made me feel like I was across the pond enjoying the area myself.
I highly recommend A Secret Gift to anyone that wants to perk up their week, loves a second chance romance, and sees the power of believing in a greater good.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
