Earth shattering, moving, tender and emotional is this story! Everything about the book is brilliant, never has a book had me sobbing so hard! The characters are brilliant and play their parts to perfection. I loved them all even the ones that I couldn't stand! I literally read the book in a few hours because I was so devoted to the story and the outcome. I can not rate this one highly enough as it outshines the sun!!

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. This is the first book I have read by this author but it won't be the last, the story drew me in from the first page and I was captivated until the end. The characters and story were brilliant and it made me laugh and cry, I will be recommending this book to everyone I know.

I seldom cry when reading books, but this one did it and it’s a direct tribute to the talented Author!
This story is brilliantly crafted giving each character time to come to life and allow us to become
completely entwined in their lives. Nobody escapes both the tragedy of life or the wonderful and
completely unexplainable and unexpected blessings life has for us all.
This is the first book of this author I’ve read and I am now a fan for life. My thanks to Storm Publishing
via NetGalley for the download copy of this book for review purposes.

The Secret Life of Beatrice Alright by new to me author B. Harris, published by Storm Publishing, is an uplifting, beautiful, second chances exist and emotional story, gives all the feels, gets 4.5 stars.
Blurb: Beatrice Alright is the queen of silver linings. She can find a spark of hope in any situation. Even when her partner delivers earth-shattering news that leaves Bea and their four-year-old, Ellie, without a home, she refuses to panic.
Because Bea believes that what she does have is more important – her job at St Helen’s Hospital, which offers a warm, dry shelter for her and Ellie to stay while she figures things out. By day Bea cleans the wards, by night she tucks her daughter into bed between mops and buckets.
And tries so hard to hold on to hope.
When Bea sees an old man sitting on a cold and lonely bench outside the hospital, she really doesn’t have time to stop. She should be clearing up her own mess, not worrying about this cantankerous stranger. But Bea can’t help herself…
As she slowly starts to draw out Malcolm’s story, could this simple act of kindness begin to heal a decades-old pain? And might finding peace for Malcolm help Bea in ways she didn’t even know she needed?

When I seen there was a new book out by Brooke Harris I had to read it straight away. This one didn't disappoint. It was a lovely story of Beatrice Alright and he daughter 4 year old Ellie. Beatrice finds herself homeless coming up to Christmas and is sleeping in the cleaning cupboard in the hospital that she works in. She friends Malcom a man who sits outside the hospital every day in all weather. She soon learns his story and the heartbreak. A beautifully written story about love, heartache, loss and family.

A beautiful story of hope coming from unexpected places and support from unexpected people with a cast of fantastic characters, from the adorable Ellie to the equally adorable Malco!

This was on moving brilliant read. I was in floods at the end. I hated the nursery worker. Loved how the main character protected her best friend. Very sad at times. Some amazing characters . The Barbie house bit will move you. In fact you just have to read it. The right ending if tearful .
