Emerald Windows

In Terri  Blackstock's Emerald Windows, this inspirational thriller will make you believe in God and to make you believe in yourself. Brooke Martin was a high school student and talented artist. At the night of the graduation, an innocent hug turned scandalous between her and her art teacher, Nick Marcello. Then she left Hayden to work in St. Louis. Seven years later, she's been offered a chance of a lifetime to come home to Hayden and help work on her church's stained glass windows. But it would bring old feelings for her and to work with Nick, while everyone like Abby Hemphill would see to it to ruin them. People doubted and questioned something so innocent in the wrong way. Though while she worked on the stained glass restoration project, she tried to get to know her younger sister Roxy, who's been withdrawn and having issues of her own at age 17. No matter how hard Abby Hemphill tried to ruin them, they managed to finish the project anyway and came close together with God and to fall in love, when an ugly scandal would rear its ugly head for the Hemphills since turnabout is fair play in the end.

This was a pure inspirational thriller about following your heart and letting God build your dreams. I did care about Brooke on how something so friendly and innocent be misinterpreted. I did love how she became her own rising star in the stained glass field. I did feel bad on how she was shunned and mistreated, past and present. But I did care for Nick who never gave up on his dreams to continue his art world and to guide Sonny, his nephew,  to listen to his calling. I did like the scenic locations of Hayden and St. Louis and how mesmerizing the settings could be inside and outside the church. This would make you believe in yourself and not second-guess yourself with inspirational drama, non-stop action, intrigue, and a spark of mystery.

Will you be there to visit the Emerald Windows at the church today?
