⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Finding Friends on Beamer Sheet is a the first book in a brand new series by Sheila Riley. Mary Jane is pregnant but had to fled Ireland to Liverpool when her fiancé, Paddy is murdered, supposedly by her brothers, with Paddy's twin brother, Red. Mary Jane is a great character - very strong-willed and knows what she wants. She befriends her neighbour Molly who takes her in when she most needs it. Cal had been attracted to Mary Jane since he first set eyes on her when she got off the ferry from Ireland. I can't wait for the next instalment.

Finding Friends on Beamer Street by Sheila Riley
You won't want to miss this new series of historical sagas set around Liverpool Docks.
Synopsis:
Mary Jane Starling's secret wedding to Paddy Redfern in Liverpool 1921 ends in grief when her fiancé is murdered on his way to be married. After finding Mary Jane, Paddy's evil twin "Red" warns her that they must flee Ireland for fear of repercussions from her brothers.
Red's self-sacrificing act is exposed as fake when he abandons Mary Jane in Liverpool. Lady Luck steps in when Molly Hayward's loving family befriends Mary Jane and she attracts the attention of Cal Everdine. Mary Jane still carries the guilt of her past. Will she find the courage to reveal her secret?
There is a delightful quality to Sheila Riley's writing and it would make a wonderful movie. I found the plot to be heartwarming and reminiscent of a Hallmark setting. The story is clean and doesn't contain graphic content.
Finding Friends on Beamer Street is available on November 16th. My review will be released on November 21st as part of Rachel's Random Resources Blog Tour.
