Moondrop Miracle - Windy City Hearts 1

Formats: E-Book, Paperback

Chicago, 1928. Constance Shepherd has everything a young woman of her era could want — a handsome financier for a fiancé, a Gold Coast address, and a social calendar that never slows down. The only thing she doesn't have is any idea what she's doing with her life.

Her eccentric Aunt Pearl — a self-taught chemist who keeps cats, courts trouble with the local police, and talks to the Almighty as if He's sitting across the kitchen table — sees something in Connie that Connie can't yet see in herself. When Pearl presses the formula for her homemade skin tonic into Connie's hands as a wedding gift, Connie tucks it away and promptly forgets it exists.

Then the Crash of 1929 arrives and takes everything with it.

With her privileged world in ruins, her marriage unraveling, and a baby depending on her, Connie does the only thing left to her: she opens Pearl's formula, rolls up her sleeves, and starts over from scratch. What begins in a Depression-era kitchen grows, through sheer determination, a circle of fiercely loyal women friends, and a faith she never knew she had, into something none of them could have imagined.

Moondrop Miracle is the story of a woman who had to lose everything before she could discover who she really was — and what she was capable of building. For readers who love richly drawn historical fiction with unforgettable friendships, hard-won faith, and the kind of heroine who refuses to stay down.
