Every Time a Bell Rings by Carmel Harrington
5.0
4.75
The best way to begin a new year, curled up with a heart warming, cozy read. This book fit the bill, even with the emotionally intense storyline. Most important to know, this novel is an adaptation of It's a Wonderful Life.
Belle is a foster child, removed from her mother's inept and indifferent care (at age 4) and bounced around the system until she is 8 years old. It is then that she ends up at the home of Tess, and where she meets her first best friend, Jim. The story jumps from future Belle, married to Jim, to past Belle, still living with Tess. Until, one fateful night Belle wishes she was never born (and starts climbing the railing of the Ha'Penny Bridge). Cue an angel and Belle learning what life would be like if she were never born.
