The cover of this book along with the synopsis together grabbed my attention so I took the invitation up to join the tour for ‘A Secret Gift’.

Three years ago, Joy Pentire lost her firefighter husband and she still hasn’t returned to the woman she once was. But then she meets Hope, one of the residents at the nursing home where she’s a carer.

Hope has a secret gift that she wants to pass on.
And Joy’s life is forever changed.

Surrounded by the community in her Cornish hometown, Joy’s unexpected inheritance soon leads to new opportunities, new friends, new love, and the part of herself she’d thought forever lost … her joy.

I loved Joy! Such a warm character, she is still grieving her husband and has sort of fallen into the job of being a carer in a local care home, although she never planned to be a carer, she is a natural. She is very popular with the residents but Joy has a leaning towards Hope, a woman who doesn’t have much time left. Hope knows this and passes on to Joy a gift. One that can change Joy’s life and possibly others around her. Joy just needs the courage to use it. As the story unfolds we see Joy learning how to use her gift to help others. She finds she loves helping others who then can pay it forward to help even more people.

A wonderful, heartwarming and such an uplifting read, set in Cornwall which is one of my favourite places. I just loved being able to feel like I was back there, with such a lovely woman as Joy is for company. This is a story packed with love, kindness and hope that will make you want it to be based on a true story.

There is also a dash of romance running through the book. It creates a lovely will they, won’t they situation that gives the reader something to keep wondering about right until the end.

I thoroughly loved the tiny bit of magic that seemed to be part and parcel of the story. In fact between the gorgeous Cornish coast, the characters who seemed almost real, the romance and finally a sprinkle of fairy dust. This is such a great read to forget about everything and immerse yourself in. I recommend this for anyone who wants to escape for a while.

Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and One More Chapter for the copy of A Secret Gift to bring you my thoughts. If my review has at least tempted you to want to read this beautiful book I have included the link.
