Unfulfilled dreams have left Grace Thomas vowing not to let her imagination roam wild again. Resigning herself to the goal of owning a dress shop, she accepts a position as a housekeeper at Monaghan Lumber Camp in order to earn funds. The plan is simple, easy, and safe. But Torin Monaghan is not. The reclusive brother who seems indifferent to her presence is ironically the one stirring up her imagination.
Torin Monaghan will not be deterred from his passion to preserve the beauty of nature. Even if it appears as if he’s going against his family. Even if the quirky and wistful seamstress invading his space is proving a distraction. To his frustration, Grace Thomas is not easily dismissed, and neither are the ways she’s opening his eyes to a different sort of beauty.
When past threats bring new trouble to Pine Creek, Torin and Grace must become vulnerable—to each other and their community—and through risk, discover that reality is more fulfilling than their dreams.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Four Dreams of You
Book Author: Sondra Kraak
What do you like about this book:
"Romance is the untamed pursuit of another. It's fierce in commitment and unyielding in seeking another's good."
Right away the stage has been set for a broody lumberman to literally knock a beautiful seamstress off her feet. (technically, it was her saddle, but does that really matter?) Suffering from a mild concussion and a hefty dose of humiliation, Grace Thomas recovers slowly enough to realize that one of the three Monaghan brothers was the source of her distraction. Despite the relentless attention from two of them, it's the more reserved Torin that makes Grace's heart beat just a little faster.
For Grace, notions of romance have always been clouded with a sense of failure and abandonment; watching her brothers and friends pair off has left her wondering if the only dream worth following is proprietorship; owning her own dress shop in her small town of Pine Creek. She never expected her spontaneous love of colors and unfinished sentences to draw the unfettered attention of a man like Torin, whose own dreams and goals as a nationally recognized conservationist will take him miles away from Grace's imagination. Or is it Grace's imagination that will keep her miles away from Torin? Only God knows.
"One doesn't seek romance in a book. " . . . "Then where?" she whispered. "I'll let you know when I find it."
What an sensory overload of emotions invade the pages of this witty, lovely, inspiring story; showcasing the author's incredible spiritual depth and her surprising, refreshing sense of humor.
