This is a story about a single woman living on MacKenzie St, Chicago. Besides owning and running a laundry, Annie Hamilton takes everyday objects and creates facinatingly beautiful shadow boxes that sell for as much as $300 on cosignment.
As she grows in faith, she is sorely tested to live her life as an example to others. From housing a run-away teenager; taking an unwanted newborn baby to raise as her own; to meeting the scorn of "well-meaning" people; and trying to build a romantic relationship, she does a balancing act with the events in her life.
A very compelling book that will challenge you to reach out to others and to allow love to lead you to do what is right to do.

Annie is the sole owner of a laundromat on MacKenzie Street in Chicago Illinois when she meets young, female Taylor who just moved into the basement apartment across the street. Taylor thinks she's hiding something but Annie knows her secret. She's just waiting to hear it from Taylor.

The writing style here does nothing to hold my interest. I find the characters annoying. Things are often repeated such as the laundromat being able to run itself and how she could run upstairs or down to make sure things were okay.

I found myself skimming through some of the pages to hurry it along. It had one of those "ya right!" endings. A fairy tale ending if you ask me.
