This week I am featuring:

Facing the Dawn

by Cynthia Ruchti

Amazon 🌳 Goodreads

This will be my first Cynthia Ruchti novel that I will read and I’m a little nervous it’s going to tear me apart. It sounds deeply emotional and intense. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Ruchti’s previous novels, but just haven’t been able to snag some time to read one. This changes in March!

About the Book

While her humanitarian husband Liam has been digging wells in Africa, Mara Jacobs has been struggling. She knows she’s supposed to feel a warm glow that her husband is nine time zones away, caring for widows and orphans. But the reality is that she is exhausted, working a demanding yet unrewarding job, trying to manage their three detention-prone kids, failing at her to-repair list, and fading like a garment left too long in the sun.

Then Liam’s three-year absence turns into something more, changing everything and plunging her into a sunless grief. As Mara struggles to find her footing, she discovers that even when hope is tenuous, faith is fragile, and the future is unknown, we can be sure we are not forgotten . . . or unloved.

With emotionally evocative prose that tackles tough topics with tenderness and hope, award-winning author Cynthia Ruchti invites you on a journey of the heart you won’t soon forget.
