͞I trusted you, and some day, you may know just how much you hold in your hands.͟
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.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ellie grew up in Branchville, NJ, in a county with more cows than people. She attended Wheaton College in Illinois as a music major, then married a pastor/college professor/tree farmer/organist and writer. Together, they have three children and eight grandchildren. Music was Ellie’s first love until she tried on the cloak of writing and found it a comfortable fit. However, early writing attempts saw friends—and even her mother—advising her to stick to music as a career. She pushed manfully along, though, and An Unpresentable Glory is her sixth novel. ͞God first touched me through story,͟ Ellie says, ͞and made the bigger Story come alive. I love Him passionately!͟

My Thoughts and Review:
I began reading An Unpresentable Glory and was at first thinking it was a "lovey" Romance book, although it seems it is it also a lot of real life being told through the main characters.
Jay and Linda, the main characters, are an unlikely couple. They overcome many struggles to eventually form a relationship.The relationship becomes a LOVE story!
The plot takes many twists and turns, but that is what keeps the book wanting to read and finish! Some of the real life topics that were touched upon in this book were mental illness, tragedy, loneliness and politics. I would have never expected those topics to be in a Romance novel, but Author Eleanor Gustafson makes them work within the story line.
The book takes only about 5 minutes before it gets REALLY good and hard to put down! GREAT book!
Book Rating: I give this book 5 out of 5 Stars! Intriguing and Interesting read!
