✰Synopsis✰

After five long years of waiting, Gabrielle and Alex’s most longed-for wish is about to come true. Their baby son is due any day, and Gabi has everything planned down the last detail.

When Gabrielle’s plans go awry at the last minute, both are thrown for a loop.
Trying to hold his family together soon takes a toll on Alex. When his once unbreakable connection to Gabrielle begins to slip, his faith in fate is stretched to the limit.
Charli has been waiting to meet her baby brother for months. When the call finally comes, she jumps on the first flight out of New York and heads home for a surprise visit.
Little does she know, her treasured family is at breaking point.
Bonding with her brother comes easily. Maintaining the tight bond she’s always shared with her father is harder to do.

✰REVIEW✰

Authors who change your way of thinking, dreaming, inspiring are the one’s to be most appreciative of. G.J Walker-Smith is exactly that for me. In a truly breathtaking and counter ship of emotions her latest release Silver Dawn pivots through every expectation, every emotion and every fiber of your body to create such a beautiful tale.

“Whoever said that we’re never sent more than we can handle is a liar. I couldn’t handle the horror I’d been burdened with that morning.” Silver Dawn by G.J Walker-Smith

I love the work; the craftsmen’s shift of creating a story so touching was just what G.J did with pure talent. It was heavy hearted to read, I have to admit. I would definitely suggest a box of tissues and some chocolate. The narrative follows Gabrielle and Alex back in Piper’s Cove, where a string of events leave Alex questioning his faith in life and Gabi in turmoil of the line between home and heaven.

“The things that scare us are never as daunting if you change the way you look at them.” Silver Dawn by G.J Walker-Smith

The leads and loose cannons that fly in Alex and Gabi’s direction where heartbreaking, my heart melted and shattered a million and one times whilst reading Silver Dawn. It was a truly exquisite novel on Alex and Gabi. The pain of not knowing the future, having little faith because of the catastrophic turn of events and sometimes just believing that everything happens for a reason is what guides a truly magnificent narrative of a million hearts and shadows of pain. A shattered heart and broken tear of 5 stars all in one. Beyond the words of the page G.J. Walker-Smith makes a difference.

Both know nothing has changed. They’re desperately in love, hopelessly stuck in limbo, and unable to find common ground.
When fate offers them a chance at a different kind of ending, it’s a one-shot deal. Running with it means changing their plans – something neither of them has ever been willing to do before, even for each other.
Just as one begins to find their way, the other completely loses direction – and neither of them realise that time is running out.

STAR PROMISE (#5 Wishes Series) – 20^th December 2014 (STC)

Synopsis:

After three blissful years of living in Pipers Cove, Adam and Charli head back to the bright lights of New York. Taking on a position at a Manhattan gallery turns out to be Charli’s dream job, but just a few weeks after starting at his father’s firm, Adam realises that practicing law is his worst nightmare.

Biding his time is the plan. Charli has wanderlust in her soul and he’s hopeful that sooner or later, she’ll want to go home.

Riding it out isn’t hard. They’re as close as they’ve ever been and every spare minute is spent hanging out with their precious little girl.

Life is good- until it’s not.

When fate throws them one nasty curveball after another, Charli’s confidence is shattered and her heart is broken. After weeks of trying to make sense of the grief she’s feeling, both realise she’s out of her depths.

Getting out of Dodge is Charli’s preferred MO and she doesn’t disappoint, finally deciding it’s time to leave New York.

Returning to Pipers Cover is not the quick fix they were hoping for.

Some things just can’t be mended, and the way she deals with that is going to change everything.
