Description

In Lisa Jones Baker's heartwarming series, precious hand-carved chests hold treasured dreams-and bring blessings to a new generation ... Anna King has a talent-and a secret. Like the birth mother she never knew, Anna is gifted at sketching and longs to study and teach art one day. Unbeknownst to her beloved adoptive family, she's even entered a contest to win a full scholarship to art college. Sketching isn't a desirable vocation in her community, so Anna does her work in a remote spot by Pebble Creek and stores it in her beautiful hope chest. Only her family's farmhand, Jesse Beiler, knows her plans-and that's by accident ... The bishop's son, Jessie is surprised to discover Anna's contest entry form. He can't imagine wanting a life beyond having his own farm and raising a family. Still, he admires Anna's spirit and promises to keep her secret, despite their differences. Yet the better he and Anna get to know each other, the more they find their personalities-and their hearts-complement one another. With Gott's guidance, can they forge the futures they desire-together "The heart of this romance goes far beyond stereotypes ... providing an unusual and welcome level of insight into the characters' inner lives." -Publishers Weekly on Rebecca's Bouquet, STARRED REVIEW "A sweet tale. . . . Forgiveness is a key theme, as is the concept that life is a combination of good and bad situations that make us who we are." -RT Book Reviews on Annie's Recipe
