Painter Place by Pamela Poole'

 June of 1985, Caroline Painter's uncle whisks her away from her island home at Painter Place to film an art video in the harbor village of Mevagissey. But instead of clearing her head, the young artist becomes entangled in adventure on the English Channel when she influences a rock star's contract and the media launches her into fame. When she returns home, she discovers a shattering secret that makes her question everything in her life. Can she trust the only one who says he understands?







Pamela Poole's love for the South inspires all her books and paintings. She has written three novels and two short stories that take place on the fictional island in the Painter Place Saga, and she will launch the fourth book in 2019. Pamela is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers and various author and artist organizations. She and her husband Mark live in Raleigh, North Carolina.

I know this story is a love  story and a story about  a second chance at love but my favorite part of the story is where Caroline explains to the children how God making clothes out of animals's skins was a picture of what God did when He sent Jesus. I know you are thinking, Why is that your favorite scene, it is because it is a reminder of something that we all forget to often, that Jesus's blood has covered all our sins like a pure what robe.This scene was in the book because Caroline is an artist and a young boy tells her that his mother told him not to hang around authors because they painted people with nothing on them but their skins.

I really enjoyed "Painter Place". I am really looking forward to reading the other three books in this series. I love how Caroline's faith changes a rock band's focus and how forgiveness is also part of this story.

This was such a great story from the beginning to the end. 

I recommend this book to everyone that loves clean romance with a twist. The scenes were written so well that I felt like I was seeing the places described.

I received a complementary copy by the Celebrate Lit and the author. These opinions are my own.

Debbie, it's an honor to see that you enjoyed Painter Place :-) I have tears in my eyes that you mentioned a scene that touched you in the story! So many people haven't understood the foundational doctrines laid out by God in Genesis, and I love opportunities to bring them up. Of course the most important is the reason Jesus had to come as our Savior.

As an artist and a conservative Christian, I had to learn early on how to handle the questions that arose when I wouldn't go out for drinks with groups after painting workshop sessions, avoided wine receptions at shows, and wouldn't enter shows with nude paintings. Some artists along the way have been genuinely curious rather than scornful, asking questions about why I'm so careful about my public influence, etc. Walking a narrow path is a challenge for any believer, but we can't hide our light under a basket because we fear ridicule. Jesus is so faithful! Thank you for shining for His glory with your blogs :-)
