Happy New Year! I’m so glad you’ve decided to join me again this year for Favorite Friday Fiction. Today’s book is by my good friend, Cynthia Herron. I met Cynthia a couple of years ago at the American Christian Fiction Writer’s Conference in Nashville. She is the sweetest person and Her Hope Discovered is Cynthia’s debut novel. Her town is full of great characters and the romance is just right. You’ll enjoy this read…
Her Hope Discovered (Welcome to Ruby Book 1)
Is the sure thing worth risking for the possibility of maybe?
Charla Winthrop, a savvy business woman seeking a permanent lifestyle change in small-town Ruby, learns that things aren’t always what they appear when she takes up residence in a house steeped in charm and a hint of mystery.
Rumor has it that Sam Packard the town carpenter is her go-to guy for home remodeling, but can Charla convince him to help her—with no strings attached, of course?
Alone far too long, Sam’s prayed that God would send him a wife and a mother for his daughters. However, the new Ruby resident is hardly what he imagined. A new place to call “home,” the possibility of what might be, and the answer to someone’s prayers unite this unlikely pair with the help of the town’s residents.
Nestled in the Ozarks’ hills and hollows is Ruby, Missouri, a quaint, cozy town where “neighbor” is merely another word for “friend.” Ruby will charm and delight as will her quirky, lovable characters who will steal your heart, but hand it right back—with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Savor your new friends’ sorrows and successes in the community where offbeat is perfect and mishaps and mayhem never tasted so good.
Her Hope Discovered is one of my favorite new stories. Cynthia Herron writes a very memorable story.
She does!
