Is
the sure thing worth risking for the possibility of maybe?
Charla Winthrop, a savvy business woman seeking a permanent
lifestyle change in small-town Ruby, learns that things aren’t always what they
appear when she takes up residence in a house steeped in charm and a hint of
mystery.
Rumor has it that Sam Packard the town carpenter is her
go-to guy for home remodeling, but can Charla convince him to help her—with no
strings attached, of course?
Alone far too long, Sam’s prayed that God would send him a
wife and a mother for his daughters. However, the new Ruby resident is hardly
what he imagined. A new place to call “home,” the possibility of what might be,
and the answer to someone’s prayers unite this unlikely pair with the help of
the town’s residents.
Nestled in the Ozarks’ hills and hollows is Ruby, Missouri,
a quaint, cozy town where “neighbor” is merely another word for “friend.” Ruby
will charm and delight as will her quirky, lovable characters who will steal
your heart, but hand it right back—with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
Savor your new friends’ sorrows and successes in the community where offbeat is
perfect and mishaps and mayhem never tasted so good.

Here's Karen's Review!
When
Charla Winthrop decides to make a drastic change in her life, she moves
halfway across the country to small town Missouri and immediately meets
Sam Packard, single father and local carpenter. From there, their
relationship progresses quickly, and they envision a picture-perfect
future together. As all good love stories go, there arises complications
that threaten their newfound joy. While I won’t spoil the surprise, I
must say that I applaud Cynthia Herron for addressing a hot topic for
some families. However, I feel like the story is sometimes repetitive
and a little hard to believe even for someone with a Christian
background. There are also many instances where the obvious is stated,
and I prefer a story that shows me the characters’ feelings and motives
instead of spelling it out. Still, with its cozy Ozark small town
setting and scenes that take place during the holidays, this book
reminds me of the TV holiday movies that we all love!
