When the Leaves Stop Falling
Best Books Award Finalist!
Ten years ago, Courtney Morgan had somehow found the courage to escape a life of abuse and run. Now living a comfortable--albeit lonely--existence, she's determined to make the most of her second chance. But when a newcomer strolls into the diner where she works, a series of events lands her on a road trip from Arizona to Georgia. After she learns her travel companion has been given a terminal diagnosis and is returning home, Courtney sees this as an opportunity to pay it forward and help, like someone had once done for her. Yet, despite her good intentions, it seems fate is determined to put love and friendship in her path, forcing her to evaluate her own future and what she desires most. Offering forgiveness is hard, especially when that person needing it most is herself. And she's discovering the important things in life are about the people along her journey, not the destination.

This afternoon jetting back and forth to St. Paul I finished When The Leaves Stop Falling and I need to begin by saying that I think its totally uncool that it made me cry as I sat on the runway. Frankly, its just embarrassing, plus it was 12 below zero and the tears froze on my cheeks leaving terrible red streaks. Seriously though, this isn't normally my kind of book, romance and inspiration and all that, but man the characters are interesting, their stories are moving, and story is a page turner. And did I mention that I cried? That's good stuff. Big props Kelly.

So his sister was returning home, but who was this woman with her? Who was like an innocent and a fantasy all at once. Jake Warner knew nothing except Serena was coming home.

When the Leaves Stop Falling – Kelly Moran
When the Leaves Stop Falling by author Kelly Moran is a heartwarming, very easy to read novel. It tells the story of a young woman emotionally damaged by parental abuse who has become somewhat of a drifter, a ghost in other people's lives. She meets a woman called Serena Edwards and they strike up an instant friendship and both women bring something into the others lives. For the first time ever Courtney feels properly loved and Serena is given the chance to tie up loose ends before she embarks upon her final journey.
Moran's style of writing is conversational and almost poetic in places. The characters - especially Courtney - are easy to empathise with and I found it difficult to put down, wanting to know what happened next. In places it reminded me of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold in that it aims to be inspirational and uplifting.
My one criticism, and this might be more about my own personal taste than the quality of the book, is that it could have done with an antagonist. Kelly Moran also writes children's fiction and while I was reading When the Leaves Stop Falling, I couldn't help but think this would be a wonderful book for teenagers. For a book aimed at adults, it gets a bit wearing when everyone is so nice all the time. Also, like most self published books (my own included) there are the usual grammatical errors but this does not detract from the story in any way.
I could imagine When the Leaves Stop Falling as one of those Sunday afternoon American films they show on the Hallmark Channel. For me personally there were not enough twists and turns or dark characters. But I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to anyone who was feeling a bit down and wanted some sunshine in their lives.

Courtney Morgan, near death, was rescued from the side of the road after running away from a horrid life. Courtney has an amazing gift that she tries to keep hidden. Courtney and Serena are paired together for the road trip South. Courtney and Serena become friends and a great bond grows.
Once home, Serena must mend fences with Jake and tell him the news of her terminal illness. Meanwhile, Serena's brother Austin is smitten with the timid and broken Courtney.
4 lives intertwine to create a brilliant romance and road to healing. I laughed. I cried. The story comes full circle and your left feeling warmth in you heart when the leaves stop falling.

When a stranger comes into the diner...something strange happens to Courtney, and it's not the first time. Somwhow she finds herself agreeing to go with Serena a women she just met to her home in Georgia..it's the best thing she ever did.
Serena finds out things about Courtney, but never once thinks badly of it. They understand each other..it gets really interesting when her twin brother Austin meets her. He's sort of tongue tied when he see's her. They soon become close, but they both don't know what to do about it..Courtney's childhood was really bad, and she feels unworthy of love...Austin won't give up on her.
Serena has come home for a reason, and she's very happy to have found a friend in Courtney. Who is making it easy for her..It was meant to be.
Telling her new friend it's been three years since she's been home. She has her reasons, and she must tell her first love Jake why.
Warning must have Kleenx..

Wow this book was AMAZING. I loved how all the characters meeting seemed like it was fate that their paths were meant to cross. Makes you think everything happens for a reason if its good or bad. It was an emotional book to read. For me it was an ugly cry book and that means it was so well written it brought me to tears. Its a must read!!!!

Wow what an emotional roller coaster. It makes you feel so many things. It's about two woman who are and went through emotional things in their lives. They just meet and connect on so many different levels yet they are from such different pasts. Courtney the main character has suffered emotional and physical abuse from her father because she has physic ability. Serena has a bad heart and is going to die. The two travel across country together to her hometown in a journey that will change everything. This is a tear jerker from the beginning to the end, so have your tissues prepared. Kelly is an amazing writer and I can see why it was the best book award finalists.

*Book received in exchange for an honest review*
What a beautiful story! the words on the page jumped out at me and envisioned all that was happening. By the end of the book my heart was shattered into a million pieces on my bedroom floor.
Reading this, I cried my damn eyes out but laughed in places. Love and sadness was the biggest emotions that jump out of you while reading this book.
My heart sung out to poor Serena and her family but also for Courtney and what she had been through also.
I found myself confused in places where it seemed to jump from character to character in the middle of each paragraph and I had. to concentrate on whose story was being told and at what part.
But overall I loved the storyline and as always Kelly Moran's writing was phenomenonal

I received this free for signing up to the news letter. This is a poignant and bittersweet story, once you start reading you quickly find yourself totally immersed in the story making it almost impossible to put down until the very end. Four lives start on their roads and seem to be on a collision course to intertwine. Serena seems to be on a course to a sad ending, Jake is conflicted with the return of his ex, Courtney deals with the horrible abuse she had experienced earlier in life and Austin deals with the return of his sister - while having the optimistic look up of who she's bringing with her. This story takes you away to a far off place and comes full circle you are left feeling warmth in you heart when the leaves stop falling, I thoroughly enjoyed my journey there, I hope to read more books by this author.

I thought this was a beautifully written story about a young girl trying to find herself. She lives through; and not only survives adversity, but finds tremendous strength as she learns to deal with loss, love, friendship, and the true meaning of family. I LOVED this book, and will certainly read more from this author. I was gifted this book for an honest review.

Be Prepared For Tears! Be Prepared to Fall in Love
Simply AMAZING! I found myself immediately drawn into the lives of these people. Crying through their heartbreaks and falling completely in love. It's a beautiful story of strength in the face of terminal illness and the love a family brings one another during these tough times. Be sure to have a box of tissues too.

I really enjoyed this book. It was warm and bittersweet. It was different from Kelly's Phantoms series but in a good way. The braiding of four people's lives is handled really well. This book reminded me a bit of The Peach Keeper but was marvelous in its own right.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. What an incredibly beautiful heart-wrenching story. The journey that Serena and Courtney start together is both tragic and hopeful, the friendship immediate. This is also about three very close old friends who welcome a fourth into their lives and hearts as if she'd always been there. I laughed and smiled and cried.

This is a beautiful and Poignant story. Wow Wow Wow this book takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions that have you in buckets of tears so make sure that you have the tissues ready because you are definitely going to need them and it completely broke my heart with everything that had happened and what they were going through but as the story evolved it puts everything in your heart back together in one of the most beautiful way possible. The characters and storyline pulled you in right from the start and kept your attention throughout and I couldn't put it down as it had you on the edge of your seat while turning the pages wondering what would happen next and what the outcome would be for them all and it was so well written and totally addictive. Kelly Moran is an amazing author and writer and she certainly knows how to keep her reader's attention and going back time and time again to read her book's and I can't wait to read more book's in the future.
