Her Blanket of Stars Maryjka Miller

On a windy summer day, Alfie went for a stroll through Galway, Ireland. He tried to light a cigarette, but the wind repeatedly blew out the flame. He was passing by a shop and something caught his eye in the window. Georgia Harte's name was written on a book. On the cover was a girl drawing a love heart on a window...the same girl who drew a love heart on the window for him years ago - she hadn't forgotten about him, just as he hadn't forgotten about her.

Georgia was a whirl of contradictions; fiery, fearless and exuding confidence yet fragile, frightened and desperately insecure. The mask she wore had been crafted with careful precision, having been continuously remodelled and moulded by the figures and events that had shaped her life - the dizzying highs of sipping champagne on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and frivolously sampling the wares of Sydney and Rome contrasted sharply with the agonising lows of debilitating anxiety attacks and demoralising sexual insults from men in her early life.



Now Alfie had walked into her life and she ached to be loved and to be herself, but would she find the courage to let him in, or would playing the game come at an unbearable cost?



Her Blanket of Stars is a heart-warming, multi-layered, wholesome and inspiring Irish romance novel that contrasts light and dark real-life issues, while also offering a fine dollop of old-school romance in a modern world. So, buckle up and come along on an emotional journey with Georgia...just have the tissues at the ready!
