One Winter Morning by Isabelle Broom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
On a winter morning she lost a piece of her heart. Can she find it?
Evangeline isn’t feeling festive this December.
The frost and fairy lights only remind her it’s been a year since she lost the mother who took her in as a baby and raised her.
She’s never felt more alone – until she discovers her birth mother’s identity. And where to find her.
A lifetime and thousands of miles have separated Evangeline and Bonnie. Now, travelling to New Zealand could be Evangeline’s chance to confront the woman who gave her up.
But is she ready for what she’ll find there?
The answers she’s been looking for, a new family to heal her . . . Or someone she could never have expected?
My thoughts:
A beautiful cover for an emotional story following the life of Evangeline (aka Genie), her birth parents and her adoptive parents.
This book covers a wide variety of topics – from heart breaking tragedy to comical moments, with friendships, relationships, family drama, animals and a sales pitch for the New Zealand tourist board. As some one who hates to fly, even I found myself dreaming about visiting New Zealand after the gorgeous descriptions in this book.
Thank you to Isabelle Broom for this great story – I will be recommending it to friends and family.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Books for a digital ARC in return for my review – all my thoughts are my own.
