Lean On Me: An unforgettable, emotional read from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER Beth Moran for 2024 Kindle Edition
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.

Crying as I soaked in other pages. Beth Moran, you have a gift. Thank you for using to draw us into your imaginary worlds.
Faith and her fiancee Perry are definitely a case of opposites attract. He is wealthy, his family is a bunch of snoopy snobs, and his mother takes every opportunity to belittle Faith. Faith stuffs down her resentment and irritation because only she knows why she must go through with the wedding, despite Perry not knowing her history.
When Faith stumbles onto the Grace choir during a visit to her mother's former church, she doesn't realize that she has found the path to family, a place where she can just be herself. A minister who doesn't judge her and who listens to the history she hasn't shared with Perry.
Perry and his family aren't likeable characters. The choir members are wonderful, a disparate group of women who come together from different backgrounds yet make beautiful music together, both when singing and not. I absolutely loved this book. It will make you mad, sad and happy, sometimes all on the same page.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

She has to be one of my favourite authors ever. I love the themes of friendship, community and faith that she weaves throughout her books, alongside sweet and tender romance. Nor does she shy away from tackling the harder aspects of life.
Lean on Me includes all the best ingredients of a Beth Moran book. I’m never confident expressing what the highlights of a book are, in a way that will encourage you to read it, so I guess you’ll just have to find out for yourself. I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed.
