My Review:

I had the pleasure of reading the third episode from Eleanor's Bench. After a tragedy, Eleanor experiences back to her own past tragedies and how it affected her through the years. She is having some guilt and struggles to find the right solution for a sweet little boy who has experienced his own trauma. The actors did a wonderful job of bringing on the emotions throughout the episode. It ends with a cliffhanger, making me want to continue to watch the series to find out what happens next for all involved. I have no doubt that this series is going to be a big hit.  

I am giving Eleanor's Bench a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for families of all ages and for those who enjoy watching faith based and inspirational dramas.

I received an early screen link of Eleanor's Bench from Pure Flix, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
