OMG this book will have you shedding tears. Such a gorgeous heartwarming story. You will love it! Thank you for the opportunity to read it

Gosh, I was not expecting this to end the way it did and I found myself in floods and floods of tears. A funny way to start a book review I suppose, but it just shows how absorbed I felt in the story, how much I liked the characters, and if that doesn't tell you this is a great book then I don't know what will!
I found it to be a really touching story about friendship, loss, and finding your way back to yourself. Ava’s journey, both emotional and literal, was full of raw moments and quiet strength. The bond between her and Cassie felt very real. I literally face palmed when Ava invited Cassie's dad over!! But it was a real and authentic relationship. Some parts felt a bit slow, but overall it was a warm, hopeful read that will stick with you.

This is a truly beautiful book. It is very heartwarming and emotional. A book you will not be able to put down. Wonderful characters. A joy to read.

First of all, thanks so much to Netgalley and Hannah Treave for sending me this eARC in return for an honest review.

What a lovely story. The found family was absolutely top notch. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

I did think the story was going to take place in Ireland a bit longer, and the whole journey there felt a little bit rushed.

The character building was done really well and they were all so loveable.

The ending was sweet, although a little bit predictable.

I would recommend to everybody who loves a story that pulls your heart strings.

Fire fighter, Ava wants nothing more than her own family .Failed rounds of IVF leave she and her husband with a decision - 1 more round or adoption? Before she can make her decision, Ava must look into her own life as an adopted child. An emotional story, hard to put down.

Firefighter Ava makes it her mission to return precious belongings to families who've lost everything in fires. When she opens her home to Cassie and her son after their world goes up in flames, she gets more than she bargained for. While her own fertility struggles are tearing her marriage apart, Ava finds herself questioning everything about her past and her adoption story. Enter a life-changing trip to Ireland with Cassie by her side, where Ava discovers that some truths burn deeper than any fire she's ever fought. But not every reunion goes as planned, and sometimes the answers you're searching for aren't the ones you actually need.

oh wow. Hannah is truly making a name for herself in my heart. it knows when i pick up one of her books its going to get ready to FEEL everything and all things. she is truly captivating in her storytelling and knows how to write people, know how to write with such deft grace that the pages flow right off the page and through you. you are in these books for the whole thing and unable to look away and nor do you want to.
Ava was such a lovely woman and you are rooting for her as well as breaking for her along the way. you just want her to be ok. and even from the start i had the emotional angst you get from neeeeding this to work out for the character!
i dont want to give too much more away than the blurb gives because the beauty in books like this is meeting them as the individual reader comes to it. with your own thoughts and feelings as the pages turn. and meeting it new with books like this makes it all the more special.
but this book needs to be read. if you like those books where you almost joyous with just how emotionally in depth you get and how beautiful a book can feel to be read then this one is for you.
when books feel almost joyous with how good they are, how much they mean to you then you know you've found a gem. and this was all those things for me and more.

Bath in Somerset.
Fire fighter Ava Ryan is dedicated to her job, and wants back what was lost.
Setting onto a journey to find the things you need most have already been found.
Her best friend Cassie Hope with her son Dylan, and Ava's husband Steve can they agree on their future plans?
Will a fateful journey bring these friends the closure they need?
Somethings are meant to be found in their own time.
Holder of Hope is heartbreaking, fetching out lots of emotions as you read. Ava even if she doesn't know it is a true hero in her own rights.
Love this read, love the characters, if you love a good weepy this is the book for you.
Make sure you have your tissue box on hand all the way.
It's one unique story.
And once again another thumbs up. I loved it
