It is the summer of 1958, and life in the small Texas community of
Graham Camp should be simple and carefree. But not for
twelve-year-old Sammie Tucker. Sammie has plenty of questions about
her mother's "nerve" problems. About shock treatments. About
whether her mother loves her.
When her mother commits suicide and a not-so-favorite aunt arrives,
Sammie has to choose who to trust with her deepest fears: Her best
friend who has an opinion about everything, the mysterious kid from
California whose own troubles plague him, or her round-faced
neighbor with gentle advice and strong shoulders to cry on. Then
there's the elderly widower who seems nice but has his own dark
past.
Trusting is one thing, but accepting the truth may be the hardest
thing Sammie has ever done.
For Nell Marchwold, bliss is seeing the transformation when someone
gets a glimpse in the mirror while wearing one of her creations and
feels beautiful. Nell has always strived to create hats that bring
out a woman's best qualities. She knows she's fortunate to have
landed a job as an apprentice designer at the prominent Oscar
Fields Millinery in New York City. Yet when Nell's fresh designs
begin to catch on, her boss holds her back from the limelight,
claiming the stutter she's had since childhood reflects poorly on
her and his salon.
But it seems Nell's gift won't be hidden by Oscar's efforts. Soon
an up-and-coming fashion designer is seeking her out as a partner
of his 1922 collection. The publicity leads to an opportunity for
Nell to make hats in London for a royal wedding. There, she sees
her childhood friend, Quentin, and an unexpected spark kindles
between them. But thanks to her success, Oscar is determined to
keep her. As her heart tugs in two directions, Nell must decide
what she is willing to sacrifice for her dream, and what her dream
truly is.
Onstage, the singing duo of Gabe and Mitzi Steiner captured
America's heart for more than two decades. Offstage, their own
hearts have throbbed as one for sixty years. Only now, Gabe has
retreated into the tangles of Alzheimer's, leaving Mitzi to ponder
her future alone.
On the other side of Tulsa, everyone believes Brooke Woodson has
found the perfect man--a handsome lawyer with sights on becoming
Tulsa's next District Attorney. If only Brooke felt more sure. If
only her fiance could control his anger. If only love didn't come
with so many scars.
When an accident lands Brooke in the hospital where Mitzi
volunteers, the two women quickly develop an unlikely friendship
birthed by providence and bathed in grace. And with Mitzi's help,
kindness, and insight, Brooke learns how to pick up the broken
pieces of her life."
