| The Potter's Lady by Judith MillerHistorical Romance. Newly graduated from the Philadelphia School of Design for Women in 1872, Irish immigrant Rose McKay is delighted when her brother, Ewan, buys a West Virginia pottery (she's positive her artistic talents will help it succeed). At first, she clashes with employee Rylan Campbell over the way things are done, but a growing affection develops between them. A major problem, however, remains: Rylan thinks Rose's would-be beau, the owner of a rival pottery business, is up to no good. As success eludes their pottery, Rose and Rylan trust God and pin their hopes on winning a big design contest. This 2nd in the Refined by Love series is just as entertaining as the first book, The Brickmaker's Bride, which shares Ewan's story. |
