"Thanksgiving in Welcombe Bay" by Kate Darroch is a story that deals with a divorcee that is afraid of her abusive ex-husband and a recovering alcoholic. I didn't think I would like this book it when I first started reading it because it was about a drunk driver and a little girl getting hurt. I hope this isn't a spoiler but the drunk driver didn't hit her.  It took a while for me to start enjoying this tale. but once I started liking it I had to keep turning the pages. This book has messages of hope and faith and love. I really like how all the characters except for a grandmother  and one other character all supported the two main characters Lily and Eric. Eric tries to buy his forgiveness with gifts.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own. 
 

 

About the Author

Kate Darrochlives on the picturesque Devon coastline, where she combines her passion for cozy sleuths and her experiences of life as it’s lived in many countries to create compelling Travel Cozies.

Màiri Maguire, a Scots Irish teacher from 1970s Glasgow, heroine of debut novel, “Death in Paris”, has earned Kate many international book awards, including Readers Favorite Gold Medal for Humor, consolidating her reputation as a notable author. Kate hopes her readers will enjoy Màiri’s adventures as much as she enjoys Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes, and that old, old movie, the Perils of Pauline.

Next, Kate created Huntingdon Hart, a dry, witty, prescient, multi-millionaire, tongue-in-cheek cross between James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, who’s in love with a much older woman.

Kate’s most recent work is the Christian Second Chance for Lasting Love series, Sweets By the Sea, a saga of Recovery and Redemption; which her readers say is even sweeter than Màiri’s adventures.

More from Kate

If you want incident-crammed stories that seamlessly integrate Christian values, you’re in the right place. Why is that? Because my own Christian faith is a seamless part of my life. How can you separate everyday life and faith? Don’t ask me, because I can’t.

I wrote Màiri Maguire to make people laugh during a dark time; and I wrote Eric and Lily to give hope and understanding to the families of addicts in recovery, to shine a light on thought processes and emotions which are opaque to most of us; and which those of us with a friend or loved one in recovery would like to understand better. Because I’m a storyteller, not a counsellor, I also tried to tell you a story that would make you both laugh and cry, a story worth taking time to enjoy. I hope that you will decide to spend a little time with Eric and Lily, and that you will find the expenditure of your time to be worthwhile.
