Ruth’s Ginger Snap Surprise by Anne Blackburne
Summary:
Ruth Defies Authority to Hold on to her Family Farm
Full of faith, hope, and
romance, this new series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.
Ruth Helmuth has never been rude in her life;
trust her to choose the bishop of her Amish community for her first time!
Ruth has worked hard to keep body and soul
together since her husband, Levi’s, death. She tends her herd of goats, making
her living from the milk and fiber she gets from them, all while running a farm
and household by herself—and very competently, thank you! How could she imagine
the bishop suggesting she should give it all up to another family, who will
“make better use of the space”?
Enter widower Jonas Hershberger, owner of a pair
of adorable dimples and father of a charming 4-year-old daughter. Jonas is in
need of a larger place to house his growing business. Ruth’s big red barn may
be just the ticket. Little Abigail is in need of a new mother. Ruth might be
just the ticket there, too!
Can two independent souls learn to work together
for their mutual good? And will they be willing to explore what grows between
them? Or will Ruth’s fear over her “big secret” and Jonas’s caution about
allowing someone new to get close to his young daughter, kill their love before
it has a chance to grow?
Luckily for both of them, God’s plan involves the
stubborn pair getting a little help in the form of a wise, elderly friend; a
quirky orange kitten; and a smart little girl who takes one look at Ruth and
decides she would make her the perfect new mother!
Review: 5-Star
This is one of those page-turners which you can’t put down so you read
from cover to cover in one sitting. The
flow, the editing along with the character development is spot on. I don’t know
what else to say. The characters felt
real, and the way the emotions were captured was brilliantly done as I could
feel each emotion and they were spot-on.
I will most definitely read other books written by this Author and I’ll
let all my friends who enjoy this type of book know that this is a must-read.
I received this book from NetGalley for my honest review
