"Never say never..."
Words of wisdom from Grandma Eichas, Farmer Dave's grandmother who came here from Germany as an eleven-year-old girl and created a life that made her a matriarch to hundreds of descendents at the time of her passing... Faith, family and a famous saying: Never say never.
Patience... and humor!
"You have a real talent, Ruth. Something special. I hope you can share that with the world some day." (Sister Mariel, 1970)
A mother of six with a seventh "daughter of her heart", working a series of hairnet and nametag jobs, doesn't have a lot of writing time.
But if you believe.... in yourself, in your faith, in God's timing... Amazing things can happen. After receiving "the call" from Love Inspired editor Melissa Endlich in 2009, Ruthy has had over seventy novels and novellas published. She is living that childhood dream of sharing her voice
with readers around the world. With over 2,000,000 copies sold, Ruthy is thrilled to use her humor, faith, love and a dash of snark to create unforgettable characters and stories.
She believed that if God gave her time, she'd do the rest and now she's living her dream of being an award-winning, multi-published, bestselling inspirational author and co-owner/manager of an amazingly fun pumpkin farm in Western New York, all while embracing that slogan... Never say never!

COMING SEPTEMBER, 2024!!!!
Former Army Captain Luke Talbot never intended to return to Wishing Bridge. But when the people who looked after him... the ones who cheered him and others onto a State Championship, the ones who looked beyond his criminal roots, the ones who cared when no one else dared.... When they were sideswiped by a wretched storm that swept down the hillsides, tearing out bridges and roads, Luke had no choice.
He had to come.And once here, he did what needed to be done, including saving the life of a beautiful young woman. He didn't mean to save a life. She was there, the car was coming and he had just enough time (he hoped) to intervene. So he did. But there's a thing about servicemen. An old Chinese saying kind of thing that says if you save someone's life, you bear some responsibility for that person. That's just how it is, and honestly, bearing some responsibility for a beautiful woman wasn't exactly a hardship.
But she was staying.He was going.The last place on Earth that Lucas Talbot wanted to hang his hat was in Wishing Bridge. He'd slain old dragons, shelved the bad memories and banished the ghosts of Christmas past but here he was. And here she was... And maybe... just maybe... it was meant to be.
