Cynthia Herron
Dear Treasured Readers:
As a recent debut novelist, I can honestly say this is a season like no other. I’ve shed happy tears at seeing my book for the very first time. I’ve held my breath as reviews rolled in. I’ve dreamed my words would impact others’ lives for good.
Just like Sam and Charla in Her Hope Discovered, stories about second chances and new beginnings inspire me. How God reassembles lives from disjointed messes is nothing short of miraculous. I’m thrilled you think so, too!
Thank you, friends, for opening your hearts to this down-home gal from the Ozarks, and thank you for entrusting me with your time as my Welcome to Ruby series unfolds. You’ve made me dream bigger, reach higher, and believe bolder! Traveling the hills and hollows of fictional Ruby, Missouri with you—my fellow sojourners—is a pure delight!
Hugs to each of you as we move forward together!
A special thank you to the following reviewers:
“Anyone who’s a fan of Jan Karon’s books will love the Welcome to Ruby series! Debut author Cynthia Herron has written a contemporary romance brimming with lessons on forgiveness and starting over from scratch. The hero has a past steeped in guilt and the heroine is running from a dysfunctional family and a life where she couldn’t be her true self. What I loved about this book is that the author, while serving up a story of a small town that’s folksy and charming on the outside, doesn’t sugar-coat reality either. She takes her characters through all the steps of grieving and learning to depend on what God has for them, not what they want for themselves. They suffer emotionally and don’t flinch from dealing with their pain. I fell in love with every character in Ruby! I’m so glad this is a series because I’m looking forward to visiting Ruby, Missouri again and again.”

“I’m already anticipating more visits to charming Ruby, Missouri. I want to know what happens in the lives of the lovable folks of this warm little village…just as with true friendships. If you like to be engaged with characters as they find hope and happiness, you will definitely enjoy Her Hope Discovered.
Favorite quote: True love wasn’t selfish—it was selfless.”
