Annie Wood, an
English woman, started as a housemaid. She came to New York with high
hopes, but things didn’t work as planned. Instead of returning to
England to realize her goal of becoming a ladies’ maid, she found a
job at Butterick designing patterns.
In this second book,
Annie is married to Sean Culver, who also works at Butterick. Things
are going well, but when Annie is given the chance to design clothes
by a New York couple, her friend Maude with Sean’s blessing pushes
her into taking the chance. Annie worries that they will fail and all
be out of jobs, but Sean has faith and pushes her to continue when
her first collection is not well received.
This is a story of
faith and striving. Annie, Maude, Sean, and Edna, a mother figure,
support each other and their strong faith keeps them together.
They’re striving to do something they believe in. It isn’t easy.
There are setbacks, but they don’t lose sight of what they want to
do.
This second book
relies on information from the first book, The Pattern Designer. I
recommend reading that book first for full enjoyment of the second.
The characters are people you’d like to know. They have a shared
dream and together they are able to work through all the hardships to
make that dream a reality.
I received this book
from Barbour Publishing for this review.
