Josiah's Treasure by Nancy Herriman

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Josiah's Treasure Worthy Publishing (April 16, 2013)
by Nancy Herriman

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Nancy Herriman abandoned a career in Engineering to chase around two small children and take up the pen. She has been writing for longer than she would like to admit. Her work has been a finalist in several Romance Writers of America contests and she won the 2006 RWA Daphne du Maurier award for Best Unpublished Mystery/Romantic Suspense. In 2009, she was an ACFW Genesis finalist. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Romance Writers of America.

When she is not writing, or gabbing over lattes about writing, she is either watching history shows on cable TV or singing. She lives in the Midwest with her husband and sons, and wishes there were more hours in the day.

My Thoughts on This Book:

Set in historic San Francisco, CA, Sarah wants to help immigrant girls get a better life by opening up an art studio and teaching them the skills needed to make their own portraits. As she finally sees her dreams come true by using an inheritance from her old friend that recently died, Josiah's son comes to town to claim all that she has. As trials come her way, one after the other, will her dreams turn to darkness or will she be able to turn them into something real? Josiah just wants his money and then to return to Chicago to help raise his 10 yr old twin sisters after his mother passed away. Things aren't going as he planned because love may get in the way of why he came to San Francisco in the first place.. Awesome story, I loved everything about it.. I look forward to finding other books by this author!!

ABOUT THE BOOK

In 1882, Sarah Whittier dreams of opening an art studio run by immigrant women. She plans to use the house left to her by family friend Josiah Cady as collateral for her studio. But will all be lost when the inheritance is challenged by an angry man claiming to be Josiah's son and legal heir? Rumor of gold nuggets hidden in the house, place Sarah's life in danger. Her future uncertain and her safety threatened, Sarah has nowhere to turn. That is, unless she can soften a vengeful man's heart-and they both learn that love is finer than any gold.
