The Pattern Artist by Nancy Moser
Can a lowly housemaid realize her own American dream?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.
Nancy Moser is the award-winning author of twenty-five novels that focus on the characters discovering their unique purpose. Her genres include both contemporary and historical stories. Her historical bio-novels allow real women-of-history to share their life stories: Just Jane (Jane Austen), Mozart's Sister (Nannerl Mozart), Washington's Lady (Martha Washington) and How Do I Love Thee? (Elizabeth Barrett Browning.) Her historical romance An Unlikely Suitor was named to Booklist's Top Ten Romance Novels of 2011. Her time-travel novel, Time Lottery, won a Christy Award, and Washington's Lady was a finalist. Her contemporary books are known for their big-casts and intricate plotting. Some titles are The Seat Beside Me, Weave of the World, The Sister Circle, The Invitation and The Good Nearby. Nancy and her husband live in the Midwest. She's earned a degree in architecture, traveled extensively in Europe, and has performed in numerous theaters, symphonies, and choirs. She knits voraciously, kills all her houseplants, and can wire an electrical fixture without getting shocked. She is a fan of anything antique-humans included.
