I got a chance to read Eileen Goudge’s latest novel Once in a Blue Moon, thanks to One2OneNetwork and let me tell you, it is a smokin’ read!

Description:
Lindsay and Kerrie Ann are sisters who have known hardship from an early age. Without guidance from their neglectful mother, their only aid came from an unlikely source, a retired exotic dancer by the name of Miss Honi Love. When the girls’ mother was sent to prison, Miss Honi tried unsuccessfully to save them from being separated and sent into foster care.

Thirty years later, Lindsay is still trying to reconnect with her sister. The owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay, she was lucky enough to have been adopted by a loving couple. Unbeknownst to her, Kerrie Ann has suffered a very different life. Bounced from one foster home to the next, she ran away as a teenager before becoming a drug-addicted single mother. Now, newly sober, Kerrie Ann is fighting to regain custody of the little girl who was taken from her.

Neither sister’s expectations are met when they’re finally reunited. But as the two sisters engage in the fiercest battles of their lives, they are at last drawn together despite their differences, restoring belief in the unshakable bond of family.

I really enjoyed reading this book and it was a super fast read. It only took me a couple days to finish this one up, as it was too good to put down! I loved the way the author makes you feel attached to all the characters, this book read like I was watching a movie, a page-turner I simply could not put down. The story is compelling and the characters are heartwarming, especially the sisters and Miss Honi. And you won’t be disappointed in the ending either (no worries, no spoilers here). With cold weather approaching, this is the perfect book to cuddle up on the couch with a nice cup of hot tea.

Once in a Blue Moon is available on Amazon HERE.
