From No. 1 bestselling author Beth Moran comes a story about family, friendship and community.

As Faith tries on her future mother-in-law’s wedding dress in preparation for her own wedding, her tears are not of joy.

The hideous frock is nicknamed ‘The Ghost Web’ by Faith’s best friend Marilyn, who can’t understand why Faith would even consider wearing it. But there’s a lot Marilyn doesn’t know about Faith – not the least of which is that Faith is just the latest of the names she has called herself.

Faith and her brother Sam survived a traumatic childhood which included having to change their names to hide from the past, but surviving has left scars. Faith’s generous fiancé Perry doesn’t just promise to be a partner, he offers freedom and security, and enough kindness to keep Faith squashing down any doubts on what ‘being in love’ really means.

It’s not until she meets an extraordinary group of women at the Grace Chapel choir, that things start to become crystal clear. As choir-leader extraordinaire, the indomitable Hester, holds a mirror up to her ragtag group of singers, all with their own burdens and insecurities, and teaches them to see how magnificent they are, so Faith can dare to dream of a future where she and Sam can stop running and she might even be ready to accept the love that she deserves.

Number 1 bestselling author Beth Moran is back with her trademark ingredients of wisdom and warmth, heartbreak and hearts soaring. Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Philippa Ashley and Jenny Colgan.

Please note this book was originally published as The Name I Call Myself.

Stayed up way too late finishing this book. I couldn’t put it down. I would love another book with the same characters and maybe expanding on some of the other women in the story. I want to know more about where the story goes.

Loved it! Great story. Wonderful narration.

I enjoy most of this author’s stories and I like this narrator. The main character and her friends were very likable. However, mean people and rude in-laws are not a trope I’m a fan of. Calling people fat is not something I want to listen to. I was able to stick with it and enjoyed the ending. Could see a sequel here!

Good

This is a well-told story with valuable insights, especially for women trying to find their way to self-possession. That said, if you are sensitive to scenes of domestic violence, then this might be too much. I found it hard to read those scenes. Some other scenes dealing with self-love and body positivity challenged me emotionally, but not in a bad way. It’s an emotional and compelling story!

Trigger warning

I love the story, the narration, and the characters. I am so glad she creates clean, and engaging books. They always have so many levels of depth too.

Love this author!
