Dawn Elisabeth Brightside has spent over twenty years running from her past. When she’s given a place at St Jude’s Hostel for the Homeless, it feels like more than just a roof over her head — it’s a real chance to start over. But with the hostel at risk of closing, Dawn fears losing the first place that has truly felt like home. Determined to fight for St Jude’s, Dawn sets out on a mission that brings together a group of lovable, flawed characters, each carrying their own burdens. With her boundless optimism and unique outlook, Dawn shows that it’s never too late to find your place — or to help others find theirs. Reviews “Beguiling and captivating.
