Synopsis: She’s always looking on the bright side...
Dawn Elisabeth Brightside has been running from her past for twenty-two years and two months, precisely.
So when she is offered a bed in St Jude’s Hostel for the Homeless, it means so much more than just a roof over her head.
But with St Jude’s threatened with closure, Dawn worries that everything is about to crumble around her all over again.
Perhaps, with a little help from her new friends, she can find a way to save this light in the darkness?
And maybe, just maybe, Dawn will finally have a place to call home….
 
My Review: This story follows two women who are very different. Grace is the manager of St. Jude’s Hostel and Dawn is running away from her past and is given a room in the hostel.
 
Grace starts to fall for one of the residents even though it’s forbidden and she has to try and keep her feelings hidden while she tries to keep St. Jude’s open.
 
Dawn has been through a terrible time and has been living on the streets for the last 20 years until she is given a room at St. Jude’s, she loves to help people even breaking the hostel rules by allowing a young lad to stay in her room with her and coming up with fundraising ideas to keep St. Jude’s open.
 
I enjoyed the story but I thought the ending was a bit rushed and lacking, I think there could have been another chapter or two on both Dawn and Grace.
