Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're shining the BOOK SPOTLIGHT on a title that reminds us home is where our heart is, and second chances are just as important for ourselves as they are for others. Ladies and gents, please welcome Rachel's Random Resources and today's blog tour guest...
The Charity of Strangers
by
Alison Burke
About the book...
You can find almost anything in a charity
shop, but can you find love?
You can certainly find friendship and there is both laughter and
tears ahead when 19yr old Zaffron, lonely, anxious and without
direction, meets Blaire Daintry, good-looking, charming, and gay.
Both volunteers in the charity shop, he has a hidden agenda, she has
secrets, but they are friends from the start, despite Blaire’s
constant sparring with Ida, the stern, good-hearted older volunteer
who Zaffron admires. And perhaps Ida has secrets too.
Together with other victims of the city’s housing crisis, Blaire
and Zaffron set up a safe and happy home. Secure at last, she
tells him of the dreadful incident in her childhood that has marred
her life, but not even his total acceptance gives her the confidence
to start a relationship with an attractive and decent young army
sergeant who falls in love with her.
Is it fear of the truth coming out that holds her back? Or is there
some other reason, buried too deep in her heart for her to recognise?

About author Alison Burke...
I was born and
grew up in Lancashire, gained several nursing qualifications and had
the privilege of a long and varied nursing career, briefly in the
Royal Army Nursing Service abroad, mainly in the NHS in UK. True love
and a happy family came my way and now I have the time to read,
write and remember.
