Today we are pleased to feature Ginny Kubitz Moyer's latest novel, The World at Home. The premise sounds really interesting and the cover fits the mood of the time period. Thanks to Caitlin Hamilton Marketing, we have TWO copies to give away!
San Francisco in 1944 is a bustling place, a revolving door of soldiers and sailors passing through on their way to the war in the Pacific. Twenty-year-old Irene Cleary, however, is not going anywhere. Although she’d love to travel, the seamstress shop she inherited from her mentor keeps her firmly rooted in the only city she’s ever known. She pours her energy into dressmaking and volunteers for the war effort by dancing with servicemen at the USO.
But Irene’s life is transformed when she designs a gown for Cynthia Burke, the socialite whose new marriage to Max, a handsome Chicago businessman, is the talk of the Nob Hill elite. As Irene is drawn into the Burkes’ glamorous, troubled orbit, and as she becomes absorbed in making costumes for the first American performance of a ballet called The Nutcracker, she finds herself on the threshold of exhilarating, perilous new worlds . . . and the most surprising discoveries of all will be the ones about herself.
Set in a vibrant city during a turbulent time, The World at Home is a coming-of-age story about creativity, loss, and the many lessons we learn from love. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
“Moyer has written a richly detailed love letter to the city—its fog, its views, and its potential for romance and loss—with beautifully drawn characters that grabbed my heart. The world seen through Irene Cleary’s eyes is one I won’t soon forget.”
—Kirsten Mickelwait, author of The Ashtrays Are Full and the Glasses Are Empty
“One of those perfect books that you long to return to…a beautiful story of love and loss and belonging. I never wanted it to end.”
—Michelle Cox, author of The Fallen Woman's Daughter
