Hey guys!! My day hasn't nececarily started out like a Monday...
I mean, a gallon of milk was dropped in our house and spurted all over the place but my Cowboys WON! With one point.
And it's a glorious fall weather day and I'm deliriously happy after the unexpected treasure I was able to read and FINISH yesterday. Wow.

*Summary*
In the beautiful rolling hills of West Virginia, Rose McKay seeks a measure of success--in business and in love.
When Rose McKay convinces her brother, Ewan, to invest in a pottery business, she's determined to assist him in making the endeavor a success. A recent graduate of the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, she believes she can design pieces that will sell well. Rose also reconnects with Joshua Harkness, who oversees his own family's pottery works and promises to help her.
Rylan Campbell has never liked change, but the new owners of the pottery seem to be decent folks. He just wishes Rose wouldn't insist on changing the way they do things. Then McKay Pottery begins to lose business to the Harkness company, and Rylan suspects Joshua may be secretly taking advantage of Rose.
When Franklin Hotels announces a design contest, it could be the opportunity McKay Pottery needs to achieve recognition and clients. Rose and Rylan work together to create something magnificent. With Joshua's company as their main rival, can Rylan convince Rose her trust in Joshua may spell ruin for them all?

*My Thoughts*
First off, if you are a Christian Historical fiction lover like me...WHOA. I think that's the exact word I used by chapter two. This book is a wonderfully wild and unexpected ride!
This book is NOT necessarily a romance...but i think it's better!! It does have a love story in it but it focuses much more on the reality of the time. Jocelyn has clearly done EXTENDED research on the civil war and I am in LOVE with her writing! I felt like I was there. It was amazing! She perfectly described feelings of excitement and terror, of wanting to help and not knowing how. She showed the pain and heartache but also the hope.
I absolutely LOVED being able to see into the lives of women that were completely dedicated to a cause that was thought impossible for "their gender". I loved that they made up their mind to do something and did it, despite everyone saying they couldn't.
*Audience*
I have an addiction to reading but my true weakness is historical fiction! If it's yours too, you'll love it as well as fans of Julie Lessman, Laura Frantz, Sarah Sundin, Lorna Seilstad, and Melissa Jagears!

The Potters Lady by Judith Miller is an awesome historical novel based on a family trying to make their living in pottery. The story and romance flows smoothly from beginning to end with endearing characters and a suspenseful storyline.
