An Absence So Great by Jane Kirkpatrick
Portaits of the Heart Series #2
Back Cover:
Did photography replace an absence in her life or expose the truth of her heart’s emptiness? While Growing in confidence as a photographer, eighteen-year old Jessie Ann Gaebele’s personal life is at a crossroads. Hoping she’s put an unfortunate romantic longing behind her as “water under the bridge” she exiles herself in 1911 to Milwaukee to operate photographic studios for those owners who have fallen ill with mercury poisoning. But even a job she loves can’t keep painful memories from seeping into her heart when the shadows of a forbidden love threaten to darken the portrait of her life.

NOTE FROM ME:
I've read her Kinship & Courage series, and loved it! I personally can't wait to read this book! and the rest o her work!
Sounds interesting! I'm having a week long giveaway at my blog if you are interested :O)
I've never heard of this author before, but the book definitely sounds interesting. :) I've really started to like historical fiction, but the early 1900's doesn't seem to show up alot.
