Revealing the beauty in other women might be Ginger Winters’s
specialty – but it will take an unexpected kind of love to help Ginger see the
beauty in herself.
Ginger Winters drapes her hair over her right shoulder and adjusts
the scarf around her neck to cover her scarred, withered skin. She’s had the
scars since she was twelve, but she’ll never get used to the ugliness.
The fire changed Ginger’s life, but out of the pain and
humiliation of her own disfigurement, one quality unexpectedly emerged: a gift
for bringing out the beauty in other women. In a twelve-year ascent from top
salon jobs in New York, Atlanta, and Nashville, Ginger traveled the world as
personal stylist to country music sensation Tracie Blue. The success was almost
enough to make her forget her own appearance.
Almost. Now that she’s opened her own salon in Rosebud after a
dozen years away, the truth is staring Ginger in the face again: she’s still that girl, ugly and scarred,
forever on the outside looking in. And this weekend she’ll be looking in as
“beauty-maker” for the Alabama society wedding of the decade.
But when high-school crush Tom Wells shows up looking for a
haircut, Ginger’s thinly veiled insecurities threaten to keep her from love
once again… despite Tom’s best efforts. Can this professional beauty-maker
manage to recognize the beauty in herself, or are some scars too deep to powder
over?
Every
month, I say the same thing - I love Zondervan’s A Year of Weddings
novellas. i can’t help it. They’re sweet and charming and romantic and
heartwarming - and all of those adjectives apply to this newest novella, “A
Brush with Love” by Rachel Hauck. Like Kirk does in “Love at Mistletoe Inn,”
Hauck centers her story around a second chance at a neglected high school
romance. As Tom and Ginger unexpectedly become reaquainted, the sparks of past
romance are still there, even if the couple may want to deny it, and they must
decide what to do with this second chance. I really enjoyed reading this
romance, especially with the additional aspects of overcoming insecurities and
believing truth, and I think it fits well in this second A Year of Weddings
series. It’s a quick, fun and encouraging read.
