The Pattern Artist

"The Pattern Artist"
​by Nancy Moser

Born into a life of hard work, English housemaid Annie Wood arrives in New York City in 1911 with her wealthy mistress. Wide-eyed with the possibilities America has to offer, Annie wonders if there’s more for her than a life of service. Annie chooses to risk everything, taps into courage she never knew she had, and goes off on her own, finding employment in the sewing department at Macy’s. While at Macy’s Annie catches the eye of a salesman at the Butterick Pattern Company. Through determination, hard work, and God’s leading, Annie discovers a hidden gift: she is a talented fashion designer—a pattern artist of the highest degree. As she runs from ghosts of the past and focuses on the future, Annie enters a creative world that takes her to the fashion houses of Paris and into a life of adventure, purpose, and love.

This was the first book that I have read by Nancy Moser, and I must say that I have found another author to add to my list of favorites. From the very beginning of the story I was held riveted, and I could not put the book down. This story is beautifully written, with very lovable characters, and an incredible journey. One of the things that I enjoyed most about this book is that it is very unique. The plots in the story are like nothing that I have ever read before, and I found that very refreshing and intriguing. There were parts in the story where I laughed and some where I cried, but they all come together beautifully for one amazing book. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
