This was a great read!  I didn't want to put it down!This could have been the typical high school girl gets pregnant, boy gets with someone else, girl leaves home, girl goes down a terrible path, but it wasn't.Although Bella finds herself pregnant, alone, and away from home, she doesn't play the poor me card.  She is determined to make something of herself and make her father proud.Answering an apartment for rent ad her first day in California, Bella meets a woman by the name of Sofia and they become fast friends.  They share a pregnancy in common.  Little did Bella know, but this friendship would change her life forever.Five years later, as Bella and Sofia are celebrating their daughter's birthday's together Bella is confronted by her daughter Melissa about the scratchiness of her outfit.  Bella tells her daughter she will fix it. It is then she wonders why she has never made her daughter's clothes considering she learned to sew from her mother and knows about fabric because her father worked at the textile mill in her hometown.  Bella and Sofia then create an outfit based on a suggestion from Bella's daughter.  While out at the beach with the kids Bella and Sofia are approached by a woman who has spotted the girls in their outfits and wondered where they bought them, they told her that they had made the outfit themselves. Based on this Bella and Sofia decided to create some additional outfits and sell them at the vendor site at the beach.  This idea was a success and they became and even bigger success when a famous actress's daughter was photographed with one of their outfits on.Along comes Rafael, who hasn't been in the states long (he is from Peru). His family is actually in the textile business, and he is branching out on his own, to prove a point to his father as well.  When this little group of three partners up, the business now called Bella's explodes!I don't want to tell anymore of the story; I think you should read it for yourself.  You will definitely enjoy it.  Some secrets are revealed and love after many years is finally in the air.I look forward to reading additional books by this author, especially if they are as good as this one!
