Ivy Clark has been living a life that has left her empty and
broken. Bruce, her uncle and agent, got
her into the modeling industry at the age of fourteen. She was taught to disregard her feelings and
look beautiful for the camera. For years
she has buried all of her hurt and pain.
Although many models turn to drugs for their escape, Ivy choose
men. The attention from men always made
her feel wanted and she knew she could control her feelings so she would not
get hurt. Now that she is approaching
the age of twenty-five she realizes that the industry is looking for younger
women. Jobs are hard to come by and she
is forced to accept a job modeling wedding dresses for her step-mother’s bridal
store. Ivy is reluctant to accept the
job as it will force her to face her past.
Going back to Greenbrier is the last thing she wants to do but Bruce
encourages her to take the job.
When Ivy travels back to Greenbrier she soon learns that
Davis Knight will be her photographer. Davis
is a mysterious man who was a successful photographer and he suddenly left the
industry for reasons he will not discuss.
Davis has a gift for photography
and at a young age his father encouraged him to pursue it. He told Davis that he could capture the world
through the lens and allow people to see things in a way they never saw things
before. This fact was proven when Davis
did the first photo session with Ivy. He
was able to capture her in a way that no one else had seen her. Their relationship forces them both to come
face to face with their pasts. As they
both travel this bumpy road will they be able to find the healing they both so desperately
need?
This is the third book I have read by this author and I
loved it! This book was about redemption
and forgiveness. The story illustrated
how God always pursues us and our sins are never too much for him to
handle. I want to let other readers know
that Ivy was very flirtatious and she mentions how men are her “drug of choice”. I just wanted to mention this as it may
bother some readers. It did not bother
me as I found the story to be real and can only imagine how many women feel the
same way Ivy did. Today we see so many
beautiful smiling faces and this book has challenged me to see that things are
not always as they seem. Something I new
but this book served as a reminder. I
look forward to reading more from this talented author!
