Trouble may follow Lucy wherever she goes, but with the help of God and the rugged, reclusive David Wolf, she'll never face adversity alone.
Lucy Fairbanks dreams of working as a photographer at the Rocky Creek newspaper. If she can earn money making photographs, then maybe her father will see that what she does is worthy, more than just a distraction. And her deepest hope is that he’ll see her as an artist, the way he thought of her deceased mother, a painter. But trouble follows Lucy on every photo shoot: a mess of petticoats and ribbons, an accidental shooting, even a fire.
Two things happen next that forever change the course of her life: Lucy meets someone who sees her as no one else has—as the compassionate, creative young woman that God made in His image. And Lucy helps David uncover a secret that forces him to change his perspective on an event that left him deeply-scarred.
God’s arms are around this unlikely couple as they discover the truth about long-held assumptions and the importance of forgiveness.

My Review:
A beautiful story about the power of forgiveness, this book will make you laugh out loud, cry, and gasp with anticipation at the antics Lucy gets up to in her quest to become a career photographer, much to the consternation of her father. This book is well written, with a strong plot and believable, likeable characters. It is the third book in the Rocky Creek series and the first time I have read anything by Margaret Brownley. I recommend this book to everyone who loves historical romance novels. I wish I had received a print copy, but alas I was only able to read an electronic pre-release. This is definitely one to buy!
