Escaping her shattered past is much more difficult than she imagined.
Julia Schultz has a reputation for being a storyteller, or as others see it, a liar. But with her dark and painful past, stories are all that have kept her company throughout her life. Longing for a fresh start and a second chance to earn real trust, Julia takes a job as a Harvey Girl at the El Tovar Hotel, where she's challenged to be her true self.
Learning the trade of a master jeweler is hard work, but Christopher Miller takes pride in running his family's small shop and earning the respect of the people around him. But when he discovers that he has six weeks to buy his building from his landlord before it is sold, he must find a way to save his grandfather's legacy.
United by the discovery of a legendary treasure, Chris and Julia find hope in each other. But when Julia's past catches up with her, doubt creeps into Chris's heart. Can he really trust her and her stories?

Marilyn's thoughts: Travel to the El Tovar Grand Canyon Hotel in this remarkable historical tale
from Kimberley Woodhouse. I was reeled into the story from the start with
Julia’s early life to becoming a Harvey Girl. This tale is filled with history,
suspense, colorful scenes, in depth dialogue, dimensional characters and a
lovely faith message. I admired Chris and his creativity with gems along with
determination to let go and enjoy life a new. The unexpected events had my
emotions cheering for the characters who were worthy of being cheered for
despite all the obstacles they faced. Who will find new beginnings, forgiveness,
hope, faith and romance in this tale? Readers of historical fiction will not want
to miss this book by Woodhouse.
I received an advance copy of this book from Bethany House and NetGalley
without any obligation to write a positive review. I have expressed my own
opinion.
