Today I’m bringing you a great new read called Our Child of the Stars by Stephen Cox and I’m delighted to be taking part in the blog tour organised by Quercus Books. Below you will find the book cover and description followed by my review of this wonderful book.

Our Child of the Stars by Stephen Cox

In this magical, bewitching debut, Molly and Gene Myers’ marriage is on the brink of collapse. Then a child arrives, with a remarkable appearance. Will he bring them together, or tear their whole world apart?

Molly and Gene Myers were happy, until tragedy blighted their hopes of children. During the years of darkness and despair, they each put their marriage in jeopardy, but now they are starting to rebuild their fragile bond.

This is the year of Woodstock and the moon landings; war is raging in Vietnam and the superpowers are threatening each other with annihilation.

Then the Meteor crashes into Amber Grove, devastating the small New England town – and changing their lives for ever. Molly, a nurse, caught up in the thick of the disaster, is given care of a desperately ill patient rescued from the wreckage: a sick boy with a remarkable appearance, an orphan who needs a mother.

And soon the whole world will be looking for him.

Cory’s arrival has changed everything. And the Myers will do anything to keep him safe.

A remarkable story of warmth, tenacity and generosity of spirit, set against the backdrop of a fast-changing, terrifying decade.

Our Child of the Stars – My Review

This is a beautiful story of family and love. The story centres around Molly and Gene Myer’s and their love of a child who is different. Molly and Gene’s marriage is falling apart after tragedy strikes and they can’t have children. Molly turns to alcohol and it is when a meteor strikes their small town that life gives them a second chance, with a child in need of protection, a family, and most of all love.

Cory is Molly’s salvation. She and Gene decide to keep him secret and hopefully safe. Of course in a world of chaos, ugliness rears its head.

The writing is beautifully done and the descriptions of Cory are great. I loved all his little quirks and watching him progress from Alien to little boy. Through Molly and Gene’s kindness, Cory learns the meaning of love, family, and friendship in a story that will touch your heart.

This heartwarming story reminds you of the lengths parents will go to protect their children.
