I'll Be There picks up after the tragic death of Bertie Barron, who has entrusted the care of her eight-year old daughter, Nina, to her best friend, the dazzling entertainer Cee Cee Bloom. But life in the Hollywood spotlight never prepared Cee Cee for this role: mother to a little girl she barely knows. Even on the couch of the Tonight show or preparing the biggest act of her career, Cee Cee tries to focus on Nina and her needs. And for a while—eight years—it all seems to work: career, motherhood, even high-profile romance with a marvelous and unlikely lover. Then, with one devastating discovery, the life that Cee Cee has created with Nina in Hollywood is shattered, and she is forced to come to terms with the profound depth of her commitment to this young girl—now a young woman—who has become so precious to her.

Mrs. Iris Rainer Dart has yet done it again. In the sequel to Beaches, Mrs. Dart has brilliantly transformed my wildest believes to a reality of what ever happen to CC Bloom and Nena Rose Barron.

A Outstanding Sequel!

Iris Rainer Dart does a wonderful narration of her story. On a day I’m reflective of what happened in my hometown on Sept 11, 2001 … after 22 years this was the first I could watch names being read live. One of the readers is the doppelgänger of his uncle I went to school with.

This book vibes what comes following loss. Fitting for a day like this. Being reminded loss is Fn hard. People die tragically. Life is sad within a place not often visited.

What I like most about “I’ll Be There” is authenticity. Toward the end (doing my best not to mention spoilers) Nina and CeeCee are confronted with their unaddressed pain. This leads to a choice on both their parts.

For me, on a day like today, reading this book vibes I’m not alone. A message humanity needs from time to time.

If you’ve had loss of a loved one this book can be triggering. And, deeply healing, too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏆

Brilliant 🏆

Not a terribly deep novel. However, it wasn’t as bad as the first Beaches novel.

The story is more like an after school special from the 90’s
