AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT - Ruth Logan Herne

 Good morning, everyone!

I am so much better today and able to function. Sometimes, that's all that's important.

Today, I'm shining the spotlight on Ruthe Logan Herne:

Here's a bit about, Ruth:

Multi-published, bestselling and award-winning author Ruth Logan Herne has sold over two million books. With nearly seventy published novels and novellas, Ruthy is living her dream of being a published author, a dream which was a long time in the making. From her Love Inspired books to trade-length women's fiction and inspirational romance and then the invite to join the teams at Guideposts Mysteries, Ruthy's goal is to write the kind of books you want to read, books with characters like the folks next door and the ones sitting across the aisle in church. Or maybe the slightly gruff old fellow down at the hardware store.

 As Ruthy takes you from the Kittitas Valley of Central Washington to the hills of the Tennessee Smokies and then back to Wishing Bridge, New York to hang out in one of America's favorite new small towns, you'll get a dose of Ruthy wisdom and whimsy, some darned good food ideas and simple words of faith, hope and love... and the greatest of these is love.

I picked up A Foster Mother's Promise at Walmart last week. 

REVIEW:

This is Book 3 in the Kendrick Creek series. I plan to go back and read the first two.

A Foster Mother's Promise is a feel good story with great opposing characters. Mike has come from a nice family background with deep-seated pain at the loss of his wife and baby.  Trying to just move his life forward becomes difficult in a new town, new people to protect - and three children living next door, including a chubby-cheeked infant, while Carly spent her life bounced around from one foster family to another. As in all case, some were good and others were not. With a defunct marriage behind her leaving its own scars, Carly becomes the foster mom she believes every child should have. The task does not come without it's share of challenges - but amazing rewards!

The only thing I found off in this story is that a tree house is mentioned but never revisited... just left hanging so to speak. I get the purpose behind the initial scene but I'd like to have seen an extention, maybe with one of the boys?

The first two books in the series:

Rebuilding Her Life

The Path Not Taken

Overall, I loved the book and am dipping the quill...
