Beautiful day is Kate Anthony's poignant and heart warming debut novel.
Today is the day that things are going to change for Rachel Bidewell.
She will walk through the doors of Clifton Avenue Care Home and start a new life.
Rachel is returning to work. And as she discovers, juggling a new job, three children and an ex husband can feel like drowning.
Someone needs to throw her a lifeline...
Philip doesn't seem like an obvious lifesaver. He has just lost the one person who ever cared for him and, even as an adult, he doesn't know how to live in the real world.
But might Philip and Rachel each have something the other needs?
This is a story of unexpected friendship; of the messy, muddy territory of those broken by life - and what it takes to fix them. It reminds us that the very darkest of days can be funny, heart-warming and even beautiful.
Rachel finds hope in the places she least expects in Kate Anthony's stunning first novel, Beautiful Day.
Kate Anthony grew up in the Midlands. On graduating, she began working as a residential social worker firstly with young offenders and later with vulnerable adults. She then joined the BBC, working as a producer in comedy for some years before moving to an independent production company as a drama producer. She lives close to Brighton with her family.

A stunning novel; beautiful, thoughtful, poignant and heart-warming
By Z. de Ruiter
This is a stunning novel and I am not just talking about the strikingly beautiful cover. I expected it to be heavily focused on a romance storyline, but instead it's a much more raw and honest look at the purest form of human connections and some of the very heart-breaking flaws that seep into the British care system, despite so many people working tirelessly and in an almost inconceivably selfless way to try and make a difference.
As readers we become acquainted with Clifton Avenue care home through the eyes of Rachel. She is a single mum of three in desperate need of a job to support her family and more by accident than on purpose she ends up working in the care system. It turns out to be the perfect environment for her to not only do some much-needed good for the people who live there and need her help, but also to blossom as a person and mother herself. Her intense role as a carer inevitably influences her personal life and unexpectedly provides exactly that what had been missing since her relationship with her ex-husband fell apart. She'd been just as lost as some of her patients and throughout the novel they help her as much as she helps them.
While Rachel joins Clifton Avenue as a carer, at the same time Philip arrives as a new resident. He's an incredibly confused and vulnerable person with little means of communication, making it difficult for anyone to get through to him. They know he is distraught by the death of his mother, his sole caretaker for the thirty plus years he's been alive, and that he's never been to school or outside of the family home really. So after losing not only his mother but also the only environment he's ever known, he's very withdrawn when Rachel is assigned to be his key worker.
What follows is simultaneously an incredibly difficult but also a beautiful and rewarding process as Rachel patiently and painstakingly tries to win Philip's trust so he will allow her help him. I was in awe by her endless patience and kindness as I don't think I would've been able to stay as gentle and focused in a similar situation. This novel has not only opened my eyes about the difficulties faced by those trying to make a difference in the care system, but has also given me a huge admiration for these amazing human beings who work so hard and lovingly to take care of someone else.
Kate Anthony has written a beautiful, thoughtful, poignant and heart-warming read, one which tells an incredibly important story. I'm astonished that this is her debut novel as it is eloquent, complex and tackles difficult issues in a sensitive way. It's also one of those rare novels that will make you want to be a better person yourself. Because if Rachel - who suffers so much hardship in a short space of time in her personal life - can remain endlessly imperturbable, gentle and self-sacrificing for her patients, then we really have no excuse to not reach out to someone else as well and try to make their world a little brighter and better.

Suddenly Single and Pissed-off
By Blanche19
The book was an excellent presentation of how divorce effects not only the couple,but everyone in their circle. The children's confusion ,fears, and attempts to be loyal to both parents was so true. Friends picking who to remain friends with was an additional blow on our heroine, Rachel.
She also needs to deal with her new economic reality. The book deals with the difficulties of remaining middle class after losing a partner
The job she takes is a rough one with no training. She does perhaps let herself get too emotionally involved but God knows you are cheering for her and wishing more care givers were like that
I thought the letter she wrote to the "other women" was spot on but understood why she chose to discard it.
You come away knowing Rachel will survive and even thrive on strength she know realizes she has, As for her ex. I couldn't see what either women saw in him. (Ha)
Good read

Poignant story about the break-up of a family
By Cheryl M-M
What it lacks in literary prowess the author makes up for with blatant honesty and core emotions. It is very he said, she said and doesn't flow very well.
It gives a no holds barred look at what it is really like when a family falls apart.
When it comes to the daily struggle of dealing with the breakdown of a relationship and consequently also a family. No one sees the anxiety, the fear, the distress, the feeling of helplessness and the anger the children go through in these situations. When parents separate the children tend to suffer, whether the separation is amicable or not.
When it came to the relationship between Philip and Rachel isn't what I would call appropriate. Rachel crosses the line between being a carer and being emotionally attached far too often. His needs become a focus in a house full of patients/clients. Rachel also lets him interact with her children, enter her home and calls him my darling.
All of that speaks for a person who has a big heart and cares with instinct instead of common sense or rather with caution. She doesn't maintain the professional distance she should between herself and the clients.
A poignant moment and one that rings true is her acknowledgement of the fact that hating her ex would make a mockery of their past together.
The best part of book was the letter. It was just so right in so many ways. Written from the very bottom of her heart, with a brutal perspective and image of the future. A reflection that most people in these kind of situations never manage to acquire.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley.
