The Pattern Artist by Nancy Moser

Let's begin with the summary:

Born into a life of hard work, English housemaid Annie Wood arrives in New York City in 1911 with her wealthy mistress. Wide-eyed with the possibilities America has to offer, Annie wonders if there’s more for her than a life of service. Annie chooses to risk everything, taps into courage she never knew she had, and goes off on her own, finding employment in the sewing department at Macy’s. While at Macy’s Annie catches the eye of a salesman at the Butterick Pattern Company. Through determination, hard work, and God’s leading, Annie discovers a hidden gift: she is a talented fashion designer—a pattern artist of the highest degree. As she runs from ghosts of the past and focuses on the future, Annie enters a creative world that takes her to the fashion houses of Paris and into a life of adventure, purpose, and love.

And now, my review:

If you like historical fiction you’re going to love this one!  What a delightful read!! This is a story penned with unexpected turns and delightful twists.  One that is hard to put down once started.  I really enjoyed the sewing theme throughout, the hope of the Savior directing the character’s lives/futures, and the surprises that came about.  It kept me reading for more.  This author has a way of painting pictures in her writing that stay with the reader and helps them experience much through the five senses. 

I highly recommend this one!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
