A BROKEN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL

In this contemporary romance, a city girl returns to her Southern roots, where she must confront what beauty truly means. This feel good romance will appeal to readers of Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury.

In an attempt to save her career, Ivy Clark heads to the quaint, island town of Greenbrier, South Carolina, to model wedding dresses at the request of her stepmother. She has no idea why Marilyn Olsen would want her to be the face of the new bridal wear line, since Ivy's very existence is a reminder of her father's infidelity. But Marilyn insists, so Ivy remains in her small hometown. If only her future didn't rest in the hands of Davis Knight, a mysterious photographer--a man who left a promising photography career in New York City to work maintenance at a local church, a man who treats her differently than any man Ivy's ever known. Davis, along with a cast of other endearing characters, calls into question everything Ivy has come to believe about beauty and worth. Is it possible that God sees her--a woman stained and broken by the world--and wants her still? Katie Ganshert is a romance writer whose work has been compared to the writing of Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury. She is the author of Wildflowers from Winter and Wishing on Willows. She lives in Iowa with her husband and son.
