A Gem of Truth

By Kimberley Woodhouse

Book Overview

Julia Schultz has a reputation for being a storyteller--or as others see it, a liar. But with a dark and painful past, stories were all that kept her company and made her interesting to others. 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 shop 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?

Another Wonderful Read!

There's something simple and warm about Kimberley Woodhouse's novels. She truly makes you feel like you've stepped back into another era, living life alongside a delightful set of characters in a place that stirs the imagination and makes you want to book a trip there. I love how these books are so openly Christian. Not many authors nowadays will brave this level of sharing truth and scripture through characters who so obviously love the Lord. The gentle pace made the book an easy read, while the plot, twists, and turns, made it hard to put down. I can't wait for book 3 - I've so been looking forward to Ruth's story!
