March 2015 Free Book!!
Wow, I just finished reading A BROKEN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL, and what a wonderful love story by award-winning author Katie Ganshert! From the back cover:
“Fashion is a fickle industry, a frightening fact for twenty-four-year-old model Ivy Clark. Ten years in and she’s learned a sacred truth–appearance is everything. Nobody cares about her broken past as long as she looks beautiful for the camera. This is the only life Ivy knows — so when it starts to unravel, she’ll do anything to hold on. Even if that means moving to the quaint island town of Greenbrier, South Carolina….If only her tenuous future didn’t rest in the hands of Davis Knight, her mysterious photographer.”
Our give-away copy is a new trade paperback. A BROKEN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL was written for the inspirational market, and the author Katie Ganshert is one of my agency mates! Check out her website and blog at www.KatieGanshert.com.

I could probably never be a model because I faint at the sign of scrutiny. But I would love to read about someone taking courage and doing just that. Free books are always a plus
Yes I have been. I loved it.
I love the way you put that, Denise. “faint at the sign of scrutiny”!! Free books are fun!
No, not tall enough.
Me either, Justine!
You would have been a great model, Linda!
No I was never a model. I was always too short to do something like that.
No I haven’t been a model. I am too fat and ugly!
I have never been a model. To short, and I can’t smile pretty on command=)
No I have never been a model. I don’t think I would want to be a model. I wouldn’t want to be the center of attention.
I’ve never been a model. I don’t think I would enjoy it – too much pressure.
I don’t think I could be a model, but it sure would be nice to visit different places & see different things & meet lots of new people & the money would be nice.
No I have never been a model. No way would I enjoy it. I don’t link the spotlight.
Never been a model, too plain and awkward lol. I wouldn’t do it if they paid me either hahaha.
I have never been a model. Too afraid of being in front of people for that!

No, I never had a huge interest but I love reading stories about models! 🙂
I would not like to be a model. Long hours in the winter with summer clothes and long hours in summer with hot winter coats and things.
I am NOT model material. My family would tell me that I should have been one. I would LOVE to read A BROKEN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL
No and no, but I’m sure I will love the book, too!
Never had the desire to be a model and I don’t think I have the body for that! Reading and loving Wishing on Willows, and A Broken Kind of Beautiful is on my to-read list!
No. I have never been a model. No, I would not enjoy being inspected. 🙂
The only time I modeled was when our church had a fashion show/brunch. It was fun, but I couldn’t imagine doing it for real. Too stressful! I also like to eat chocolate too often 😉
No way! Like Garfield the Cat, I’m ‘undertall’ and now a tad too…old. Not sure I would have liked the lifestyle, so it’, probably a good thing! And for the lady who said she was too fat etc…I’ve struggled with bad self image most of my life – and still have trouble. Study Psalm 139 – I have and when I gang up on me, sometimes the Holy Spirit reminds me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, as Scripture says. Don’t let anybody tell you differently!
No, I have not taken on the role of model. I have do take on the role of Role Model and try to help those daily where I work.
No, but if I were, I would be a Plus size model.
No, but I wanted to be one when I was a teen. I would love to read this book!!
no!…would love too read this…sounds great reads
No, I haven’t been a model and I wouldn’t want to be one but I am sure I would enjoy winning and reading this book.
No, and No.
I could be a model book reader though. 🙂
No, I hav never been a model! And I know I would be good at it!!!!!
Just in high school when we had to model our outfits we made in home ec. No thanks, not my kind of work. I do wish there were more plus size models for us plus size women.
No and No – I haven’t read any of Katie’s book yet but have been meaning to. I hope to read this one!
My answers are “no” and “NO”. Thanks for the chance to win!
No I have never been a model. I don’t think I would really like being a model because it is not for me. I am blessed to be a wife and a mom of four beautiful children. I have read 2 of Katie’s books and in the middle of reading “The art of losing yourself” and have this book and October Bride on the top of my readers list. I would love to have his book so I can share it with people I love and think it would help inspire.
Once for my church,I modeled clothes for a fund raiser but it was hard for me to be in the spotlight .
Have I ever been a model? Yes I am. I am a model to my daughter’s and nieces. I model to them what a woman should be like and how a mother should be. I am not not will I ever be a professional model but in am happy with me.
Yes. Yes, I’ve been a model. On the stage at the EUP Fine Arts Center in Detour Village for their October fashion show – three years running. I’ve also been a model for a stressed mother of three young boys trying to juggle hockey, football and basketball practices on one day. I’ve been the model for a middle school math teacher dealing with standardized testing schedules, clueless parents and bickering, hormone-flooded students. But most importantly I’ve been the caregiver model to my life-long sweetheart when this chronic disease called rheumatoid arthritis slowly pecks away at our lives like ducks on a beach of bread crumbs.
