More About the Author

Born into poverty, Ruthy loves nothing more than pretending to be normal, hanging with her family, loving her day job of torturing small children and her dream job of writing sweet, evocative books that make people say "Aww..." and feel better about life in general.

A strong Christian with a snarky sense of humor and a love for chocolate and fancy coffee drinks that make her guilt-o-meter spike into the stratosphere, Ruthy is grateful for her life, a true testimony to faith, patience and marrying a gentle guy with a sense of humor and a truck-load of patience. She's the mother of six smart (read: KNOW-IT-ALL) kids, a seventh daughter of her heart and ten (yes... really... doesn't she look TOO YOUNG to have ten grandchildren? It must be a typo...) grandchildren, all delightfully smart and good looking and probably Harvard bound. Of course. When they get out of pre-school, that is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, lots of wisdom, February 26, 2010

By 

Mary Connealy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winter's End (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)

Winter's End is full of wisdom and sass. Debut author Ruth Logan Herne tackles a really tough subject, hospice care, with such a strong flare for comedy and such a heart for people who struggle with the loss of a loved one.

It is only afterward that you realize what great wisdom fills the pages of this book. I didn't notice it while I read because I was having so much fun watching Kayla and Marc fall in love despite their best intentions not to.

I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Winter's End (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)

Ruth Logan Herne's debut Winter's End is emotion-packed romance at its best! Hospice nurse Kayla Doherty and Marc DeHollander come together to care for Marc's dying father, a man who defines the meaning of unconditional love. This touching story of two wounded people drawn to one another yet determined to walk different paths kept me turning pages to see they overcome the obstacles between them. A wonderful story of hope and new beginnings. Don't miss Winter's End.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual depth and grace in series romance, March 19, 2010

By 

Myra Johnson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winter's End (Love Inspired) (Mass Market Paperback)

Ruth Logan Herne's debut novel is a touching story of hope and healing. Hospice nurse Kayla Doherty is tender yet tough, her own heart bruised by a painful past. Facing the imminent death of his father from lung cancer, Marc DeHollander must come to terms with unpleasant truths about the mother who deserted them and its effects on what's left of his family. The story is told with a depth and grace not often found in series romance. Expect more endearing stories of love, hope, perseverance, and faith from this outstanding debut author.
