An angel gets its wings…
Belle has taken all the Christmas decorations down. This year they won’t be celebrating.
As foster parents, Belle and Jim have given many children the chance of a happier start in life. They shouldn’t have favourites but little Lauren has touched their hearts. And now her mother is well enough to take her back and Belle can’t bear the loss.

Travel Guide
The city which has many magical spots if this novel is anything to go by:
The Ha’ Penny Bridge
The star of the show in many ways. This bridge should definitely be on your visit to the city and after this book, it probably will be in your heart too.
Molly Malone statue
Belle walks with someone here down Grafton Street and they stand at the fountain here. She says that she enjoys exploring the city at night as there’s a magical air about it and the city changes in that light she says.
She thinks she’s looking at the city with new eyes. At the bottom of O’Connell Street for example. “There’s a touch of Bedford Falls about it all now. You know , the town in It’s a Wonderful Life”
The Liffey
Belle likes to walk along the river when she returns to the city. Walk west and see the IIrish National War Memorial Park. A good place to consider who has lived before and what their lives must have been like
