Inspirational Romance
Sometimes everything you ever learned about yourself is
wrong Fashion is a fickle industry, a frightening fact for
twenty-four year old model Ivy Clark. Ten years in and she’s
learned a sacred truth—appearance is everything. Nobody
cares about her broken past as long as she looks beautiful
for the camera. This is the only life Ivy knows—so when
it starts to unravel, she’ll do anything to hold on. Even if
that means moving to the quaint island town of Greenbrier,
South Carolina, to be the new face of her stepmother’s
bridal wear line—an irony too rich for words, since Ivy is
far from the pure bride in white. If only her tenuous future didn’t rest in the hands of Davis
Knight, her mysterious new photographer. Not only
did he walk away from the kind of success Ivy longs
for to work maintenance at a local church, he treats
her differently than any man ever has. Somehow, Davis sees
through the façade she works so hard to maintain. He, along
with a cast of other characters, challenges everything Ivy
has come to believe about beauty and worth. Is it possible
that God sees her—a woman stained and broken by the
world—yet wants her still?

Re: A Broken Kind Of Beautiful
When I see a middle-aged or older couple walking together,
still holding hands. To me, I find that kind of love to be
a beautiful thing at that stage of their life. To other
people, they might not look at it that way. I know how my
parents would react, and even now it makes me laugh just to
think about their negative comments. It's amazing to me
just how many people are still out there who think as
backwards as my parents do, and find it disgusting.

I think it's beautiful when a woman is truly a lady - someone who embraces
the role of womanhood with grace, manners, and self respect. It may be old
fashioned and unpopular to be a lady, but to me it is beautiful.

Old things can be beautiful. People, furniture etc. An old person who has taken care of themselves is beautiful to see.
(Patty Hamblin 9:55am April 25, 2014)
I think that when a woman displays a quiet and patient attitude with grace in her everyday life she is beautiful regardless of her outside appearance.

I find it beautiful to see young people interact lovingly with
handicapped children. Mentally or Physically. Growing up with
a sister who was mentally handicap, it's something that goes
deep to my heart when I see it.

An enjoyable and lovely walk with someone who cares enough to
spend time in a relaxing and old fashioned way.

I think kindness makes a person's face softer and more beautiful.

Honesty. I think if a person is truly honest, that makes them beautiful.
(Sue Galuska 12:01pm April 25, 2014)
A person who always has a smile and a kind word no matter their
circumstances is a ver special kind of beautiful.

A grandchild giving a grandparent a hug or a kiss is beautiful.
(Anna Speed 12:21pm April 25, 2014)
I think compassion is beautiful, especially in defiance of society.
(Heidi Robbins 3:57pm April 25, 2014)
I think when people are kind and do nice things for others by going out of their way. This is often ignored by many and taken for granted, however, it is a very beautiful person that does this. People that wait on you at counters in stores, pharmacies, etc. that are pleasant and take the time to help you find things, smile, and tell you, "Have a very nice day now," are examples of this and their kindness shines through. Your cover for your book is beautiful and goes well with the title. I look forward to reading it!

I agree with the comments above but can't think of anything else to add.
(Michelle Fidler 5:17pm April 25, 2014)
Katie, we are practically neighbors. I live close to Madison, WI. (if you still live around that area that you attended school) in Janesville. I especially enjoy reading about people that share their wealth with others in need that I read stories about nearly everyday, to help sick children with their medical surgery expenses needed, homeless people with food or lodging, heroes rescuing people, etc. These are truly beautiful people.
(Rich Cook 5:47pm April 25, 2014)
I absolutely love the title of the book!
(Denise Austin 8:30pm April 25, 2014)
People with a genuinely good heart are beautiful. Those that go out of their way to help others with no thought of themselves.

I love old vintage items and many people feel like they aren't beautiful and
should just be trashed. I love the history in these items.
(Sheri Pruitt 10:17pm April 25, 2014)
I love Antique furniture. Also old photographs.. to me it o=is
also sunsets and sunrises.
(Tina Ullrich 11:24pm April 25, 2014)
Thank you Heidi and Denise! I was so pleased with the cover
when my publisher showed it to me!
Rich - we no longer live in Madison, but we go there as
often as we can!
I loved reading what everyone finds beautiful! Thanks for
reading and commenting. :)

A little one playing in the mud. With popsicle juice dripping from her chin and she smiles, enjoying the sweet cold treat.
I believe most of us are exactly that. Even those that most consider so beautiful. They are often even more insecure.

When a family adopt a disabled child and give this child every advantage a regular child would get.

Hi, Katie!!

I feel everything and everyone God made is beautiful - it's all in how we perceive it/them!!
(Bonnie Roof 1:59pm April 26, 2014)
I think laugh lines are beautiful! They speak of a lifetime where happiness and laughter played a major role etching the face of the lucky recipient as a testament to others of their joie de vivre.
(Debbie Kelly 5:59pm April 26, 2014)
I think letting life show on your face is beautiful. I hate all this plastic surgery and botox. You don't look real.
(Carol Woodruff 7:02pm April 26, 2014)
Ageing gracefully is beautiful. Embrace the life that shows on
you face & body.
