The Root of Bitterness Entangles Two Hearts
One woman's shattered dream. . .One man's second chance. . .
And the faith that can heal broken hearts.
Ruth is the second oldest sister in the Hostettler family and has one burning desire--to marry and fill her Amish household with children. Life seems to be falling into place when Martin Gingerich starts to court her and when she becomes a friend to a motherless child.
But her dreams are suddenly shattered in one horrific moment, putting Ruth's faith to the test. Finding herself spiritually adrift, Ruth's only real prayer becomes a desperate "Why, God?"
Esta Wengerd, one of six children, has lost her mother to tragedy and her father to depression. Can Ruth now reach past her own pain to make a difference, or will Abe Wengerd bar her interference--and stifle her healing?Will Ruth find the faith and strength to rise above the ashes? Or will she forever question her value as a wife?
