Morrey brings readers a lovely, heartwarming novel of new beginnings ... Readers will root for Delphine to thrive as she encounters new people ... Delphine's blossoming joy is sweet in this poignant story of second chances, which is also a glimpse into an incredible mother-daughter bond.
It’s overstuffed, to be certain, but the ending provides a warmhearted, feel-good resolution. As in her first book, Morrey explores intergenerational friendship and the power of human connection. Delphine transforms from an isolated young woman living a dead-end life to a person on the verge of achieving her full potential—and just as she is changed, she changes others as well. This uplifting, charming, and quirky novel will appeal to fans of Phaedra Patrick and Jenny Colgan.
Author Morrey’s second foray into fiction is an uplifting, earnest book with layered, complicated characters ... A cozy story that accepts people for who they are, warts and all, and celebrates the hard work that true change requires.
