With her past in shambles, how can she fashion a future of hope?

Catherine Dougall’s past of manipulation has left her future in threads. With a new faith, she longs to take the remnants of her life and make something beautiful, but shame, societies’ judgments, and the natural consequences of an unplanned pregnancy test her newfound hope. Dr. David Ross doesn’t help either. His kindness, sacrifice, and tenderness tempt her to impossible dreams. A fallen woman doesn’t merit a fairytale.

David Ross has made every effort to keep his life above reproach. His passion for the sick pump fresh purpose through his choices, but without financial support to maintain his war hospital, all is lost. When his notorious aunt offers an easy solution, David is tempted to give in to her demands, but his growing affection for the reformed flirt, Catherine Dougall, unwinds the careful wall around his heart and offers an unexpected choice.

When the worst of war tears them apart, can love renew the memory of what was lost or will tragedy steal away their hope forever.

From the beautiful Derbyshire countryside to the trenches of World War One, Catherine and David must learn to trust in a God who designs a masterpiece out of brokenness and fashions hope in the most unlikely places.

I am so excited to share with you, Interior Design of World War I. I absolutely adore this era of interior design. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time period. However, being born when I was, I can appreciate so many different eras of fashion, design, and style. *Confession* I am a HUGE fan of Downton Abbey. Highclere Castle's interior design is so breathtaking that I just HAD to include some shots of the castle.  I hope you can imagine yourself stepping into these pictures and being transported back to 1914. In a time when the world was at war and everything about society was changing. Don't forget to enter the giveaway! Rules are at the end of this post. (Click on the images to be taken to Pinterest to find out more about that particular room.)
