When everything in life seems to be going wrong and it looks like there is no chance of ever being truly happy again, God promises to give us beauty for ashes.
Beauty For Ashes by Dorothy Love exemplifies just this promise. Carrie Daly is a beautiful young woman, recently widowed. Her life seems to be full of ashes. Promised to a man but not sure if she loves him. Living with her brother and being forced out on her own when he marries a widow with two young boys that are mean and ruthless. Almost run down in a busy street by a run away horse called Majestic.
In the midst of the worst year of her life, she meets a man that could make all her dreams come true. He comes in the form of a horse trainer named Griff Rutledge. But Griff has some ashes of his own. He comes to town to collect a debt from a saloon girl he once helped out and to get away from his father and brother instead of forgiving them for things that happened in the past. However, instead of getting on his way, he finds himself taking over the training of a wild horse named Majestic for a town race. Then he meets a beautiful woman named Carrie Daly. Is it possible for her to be the one that can make him want to make peace with his family and settle down with a wife and children?
This book is a story of forgiveness and love. Time and time again, the author paints a picture of God restoring lives and truly replacing beauty for ashes.
