Julia Schultz has a reputation for being a storyteller--or as others see it, a liar. But with a dark and painful past, stories were all that kept her company and made her interesting to others. 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 shop 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?
I loved every single thing
about this book! From beginning to end,
I was so caught up in the story of Julia Schultz, she really tugged at my heart
and I found myself rooting for her to live her best possible life. Not
only did the author craft endearing characters, she also placed them in the
beautiful setting in the Grand Canyon at the El Tovar Hotel.
I find the history of the
Harvey Girls fascinating, I could read about them pretty much anytime, but I also
love a storyline with some good and some not so good characters, there are both
in this well-written, perfectly paced novel.
I highly recommend A Gem of Truth to readers pf historical fiction and
those just looking for a fantastic read.
I received a copy of this
book from the publisher through Netgalley.
All opinions are my own.
