Publisher's summary

'Beth Moran's heartwarming books never fail to leave me feeling uplifted' Jessica Redland

Marion Miller needs a fresh start.

Her childhood in Northern Ireland wasn’t easy, with a father who passed away when she was young and a mother who got lost in grief. Now grown-up and with family relations as tense as ever, Marion heads to England, to find out the truth about her father’s mysterious past – and hopefully an extended family who will love her as much as he did.

Scarlett Obermann runs a holiday park in Sherwood Forest with her daughter Grace, but what’s she’s best at is making people feel like they belong. With her merry band of waifs and strays, Scarlett welcomes Marion with open arms, and it isn’t long before Marion finally understands what it means to find a home.

As she tries to uncover her father’s story, Marion slowly blossoms, even daring to indulge in her crush on Reuben, the son of the Lord of the Manor, but she hasn’t quite out-run her past. And as Scarlett faces her own tragedy, it’s Marion’s turn to take care of everyone.

Because you can’t choose your family, but you can make your friends the family you choose.

Number One Bestselling author Beth Moran writes novels with heart. Uplifting and heart-warming, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

This novel was first published as Making Marion.

Great Story but ...

I love Beth Moran stories. I loved all the characters. Some pretty weighty issues that most people don't just get over or overcome without lots of therapy, so needed to suspend these thoughts as some things were unbelievable. That's why it's fiction! Beautifully narrated. Really enjoyed.

Engaging characters

Beth Moran is quite skilled in addressing the many tragedies we face in life with a sense of humor. She doesn't shy away from abuse, illness, depression, etc. but tackles these issues head-on by creating interesting characters and interesting plots. Her books are about love and relationships, specifically about learning to love yourself and then loving those around you. it isn't unusual to both laugh and cry when reading or listening to her stories. This is a nice addition to her body of work.

Favorite One Yet!

I’ve been reading everything by this author I can get my ears on—such a wonderful mix of whimsy, romance, and real life sh*t! This was my favorite of them all so far!

I loved it

The quality of Paula’s voice is wonderful, the pace was little weird in the beginning but she is a great reader. Loved the story so much!

My Favorite Beth Moran so far

I really enjoy Moran’s storytelling. This has been my favorite book so far. I love that she weaved the hard road of forgiveness into the story. Would recommend. I also enjoyed the performer and would listen to more stories performed by Masterton.
