Biltmore Girl

New York City, 1968. Elka Hansen, a former teen cover girl, is done with modeling. Now she's a hostess for the Palm Court restaurant in the beautiful Biltmore Hotel. As she sees it, Elka's other role in life is to watch out for her younger sister, Colleen, an idealistic but reckless college student at Barnard.

With her sister, Elka attends her first civil-rights protest, and there, she runs into Jacob Lewis, a co-worker from the Biltmore. He is a student at Columbia University and a friend of Colleen's. Jacob becomes an unexpected ally when rescuing her sister from trouble becomes more than Elka can handle independently. Out of this turmoil, a romance grows between Jacob and Elka, but can it last?

The pursuit of purpose, coming of age during the late 1960s, and learning how to forgive are common threads woven throughout this Christian romantic fiction book.
