OVERVIEW
Mara is bitter, just as her Biblical name might suggest. Her husband Liam is off to foreign lands, Africa specifically, making a dent on the world’s need for clean water. This has left her at home with her three children, two she might describe as trouble makers or at the least as troubled and third her twelve year old, Jeremy of the tender heart.
When tragedy strikes twofold in her life, Mara comes crashing down. Yet God intervenes in the person of her forever friend Ashlee, a young man and his dad who bring repairs and romance into her family and a change of heart in her children that makes hope come alive!
Ruchti is a bold and edgy writer. Her story is riveting and will hold the readers’ interest. You will see God’s hand working amid tragedy and bringing joy from ashes.
