She possesses the ambition and talent to be a professional photographer, and she thanks God for all the blessings that surround her. Now, all at once, Indigo’s family life, love life, and hopes for success have flipped upside down. Indigo loves the Lord, but can she trust him to work his plan in her life? Worth a Thousand Words dramatically explores the tough decisions one woman must make in the world of love, relationships, and career. Will Indigo find the courage to face her own truths–and accept those being harbored by the people she loves most? Either way, she risks losing everything she’s ever wanted.

Indigo is stunned when Brian, her boyfriend of four years, proposes to her, wanting to rush into marriage. Although she accepts his offer, she wonders how she can juggle earning her graduate photography degree along with planning a rushed marriage.

During Indigo’s photography internship, she finds she has a medical issue that interfere’s with her picture-taking. She struggles to accept her diagnoses, wondering if this will affect her long-term health.

While Brian is at Officer Candidate School for the military, he’s forced to deal with a skeleton in his closet. He hopes his rushed marriage to Indigo will help to cure him of the dangerous desire with which he continues to struggle.

Meanwhile, Indigo’s younger sister struggles with her own issues as she tries to pursue her dream career in modeling.

This book deals with some tough issues that you don’t see often in Christian fiction: homosexuality, bulimia, and vision medical issues.

I found the book intriguing and I would be interested in reading more books in the Jubilant Series.

I reviewed the first book of this series here.
