When Ruth Ann Templeton’s husband, Drew, leaves her for another woman, Ruthie is devastated. She seeks solace at their beach cabin in Puget Sound where she meets Victor, a neurologist who has marital problems of his own. Their relationship blossoms just as Ruthie’s husband moves home asking for forgiveness. But can Ruthie trust and forgive him or any man?
MY THOUGHTS.....
Ruth Ann Templeton believes that she's always done her best to care for her family but she's now struggling with a husband who's left their home, a very rebellious teenage daughter who could care less about her mother's feelings, and aging parents who also need her attention. She feels stressed, lost, and adrift. Is there anyone willing to guide Ruthie to solid ground?
Fans of Amish fiction are already familiar with Kate Lloyd's writing talents but this new book showcases her fantastic ability for creating realistic and powerful contemporary women's fiction. Ruthie and the other characters aren't perfect and this story isn't always happy but Lloyd peppers it with hope, faith, and grace. This is a poignant depiction of the struggles experienced by women of the "sandwich generation". Kate Lloyd never disappoints me, and I highly recommend Reinventing Ruthie!
I received a copy from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
