    About this ebook

    55 year-old Geraldine Summers had died from cancer and gone to Heaven. But she is left waiting at the gate for a decision to go in. The security keeper tells her that she can only enter if she can make her ex-lover Keith a happier and less angry man. Geraldine agrees.
    Upon entering, Geraldine hears what the keeper means, as she hears Keith shout at people. In one outburst, Geraldine realises that he’s angry because he’s missing his family. She’s now determined to make him fall in love with her again, so he won’t miss his family so much.
    With the help of her angel helper, Coco, Geraldine recalls her life with Keith and how they romanced.
    First she takes him to the cinema, which appears when she mentions it, to get him to remember their love together. Then she cooks him a meal. As Geraldine feels they’re getting closer and is beginning to get Keith to open up, she starts to flash purple hues, her favourite colours.
    Finally Geraldine leaves it to Keith if he wants to talk to her, and he does. He also gets Geraldine to realise why so became estranged from her family, and she wants to rectify that.
    Geraldine and Keith are in love again, and her job is complete, and she is allowed in to Heaven.
    Now she can start her mission – to help her relatives get their lives back on track, from a photo, and using her favourite colour to indicate she’s there for them. She can’t wait.

      ? One Good Turn (Geraldine's Gems Book 1)

      AUTHOR- Julie Day
      PUBLISHER- Julie Day; 1st edition (19 August 2012)
      RATING- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Geraldine Simmonds, a vibrant soul of 55 years, transcended her earthly bounds, succumbing to cancer and finding solace in the embrace of eternity. However, to reunite with her beloved Keith, she had to traverse the celestial gates of heaven.

      In the afterlife, Geraldine Simmonds discovers a newfound awareness of the imperfections in her earthly existence. However, her own revelations pale in comparison to the profound discontent exhibited by her ex-partner, Keith, who has also passed away. As fate would have it, Heaven's Head of Security assigns Geraldine a challenging task: to bring solace to Keith. Despite the difficulty of this mission, Geraldine eagerly embraces it, fueled by her enduring love for Keith and her lingering confusion over his sudden departure from her life three years prior.

      "One Good Turn" marks the inception of a captivating series. I thoroughly relished observing Geraldine's relentless efforts to win over the obstinate Keith. The author's meticulous attention to detail, particularly when describing Geraldine's wardrobe, breathed life into the story, enveloping me in its enchanting allure. Yet, the most endearing aspect of this series, in my opinion, lies in Day's skillful exploration of the notion that departed loved ones can return to aid their living counterparts. This concept exudes a profound sense of comfort, and Day handles it with delicate care, instilling warmth and reassurance.

      Characters are well-written and the plot is mind-blowing. Cover of book is something I haven't seen in long time. Cover is true justice to the storyline.

      I eagerly anticipate delving into the forthcoming installments, yearning to uncover more of this mesmerizing tale.

      Highly recommended series to start !!

      ALL VIEWS AND OPINIONS ARE OF MY OWN AND HONEST.
