An Unpresentable Glory

Author: Eleanor K. Gustafson
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Linda Jensen leads a relatively quiet life in Westchester County, New York, as the owner of a highly-acclaimed garden. Inherited from her parents, the garden is her pride and joy. What is not so joyful is finding a strange man sprawled near her delphiniums! The mysterious man is sick, unable to do anything more than drink water—and beg for secrecy. Ignoring all alarm bells, Linda sees to his needs, but her caring act takes on unexpected significance, an unpresentable glory.

Seeds of trust, and perhaps love, are planted in Linda’s garden haven. But as secrets are revealed and scandal hits the headlines, the act of caring for this man threatens to tarnish both of their reputations. Like weeds in Linda’s garden, circumstances threaten to choke out their fledgling relationship, and small moments prove to be the biggest influencers—on a national scale.

An Unpresentable Glory written by Ellie Gustafson draws you in and holds you through to the very last word. It is filled with reminders of God's presence in our lives, His love and forgiveness. Ellie weaves the various storylines and characters together so beautifully. It shows us how to be real with others, to acknowledge and embrace our humanity, our mistakes and our pain while allowing others to draw us close, helping us seek God's grace, and to see His Face in others.

Unpresentable Glory allows us to learn from our mistakes, to gain strength and wisdom and insight from them...to keep going. It's through perseverance and an open heart that God's will for our lives may be discovered; that's when the dark, ugly moments of our lives are transformed and the radiance of God's Light shines through... Unpresentable Glory!
