Happy Friday!
The book I’m featuring this week is A Gem of Truth by Kimberley Woodhouse
A Gem of Truth just released less than 2 weeks ago and is the second book in the Secrets of the Canyon series. Boy does this series make my wish to visit the Grand Canyon even bigger! Although, it would be nice to find some treasure too… just sayin haha. I loved this story! I highly recommend to historical fiction fans 🙂
Escaping her shattered past is much more difficult than she imagined. Julia Schultz has a reputation for being a storyteller, or as others see it, a liar. But with her dark and painful past, stories are all that have kept her company throughout her life. Longing for a fresh start and a second chance to earn real trust, Julia takes a job as a Harvey Girl at the El Tovar Hotel, where she's challenged to be her true self. Learning the trade of a master jeweler is hard work, but Christopher Miller takes pride in running his family's small shop and earning the respect of the people around him. But when he discovers that he has six weeks to buy his building from his landlord before it is sold, he must find a way to save his grandfather's legacy. United by the discovery of a legendary treasure, Chris and Julia find hope in each other. But when Julia's past catches up with her, doubt creeps into Chris's heart. Can he really trust her and her stories?

Happy Friday!
I’m currently reading A King for Christmas by Brooke St. James.
“I looked at my brother, putting the receiver in my lap, and muffling it in my shirt so that James couldn’t hear me.”
I hope you have a great weekend! Happy reading!
My first line today is from Millstone of Doubt by Erica Vetsch:
Thorndike House- London- March 1, 1816
The problem with concealing a weapon beneath a day dress at a social gathering became all too apparent to Lady Juliette Thorndike the moment she sat beside the Dowager Duchess of Haverly.
I’m hoping to read that one soon too!
I am looking forward to this one! I really enjoyed the first one! https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/09/first-line-friday-65-books-can-be.html
