Читать книгу A Groom For Ruby - Emma Miller - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

It’s said that honesty is the best policy, but life is complicated. Can you imagine a situation where it would be better to hide things about yourself from someone you’ve just met? What if you’ve had a bad experience before and don’t want to repeat the same heartbreak?

This is what happens when Ruby Plank comes to matchmaker Sara Yoder to find a husband. Ruby wants desperately to meet that perfect man who will value her for who she is. She isn’t pretty, a good cook or a fine seamstress, but she’s a good person who tries to live a Godly life. And she’s the beloved only child of a mother and father she adores, parents who have advised her to keep a big secret.

The matchmaker isn’t happy about the deception, but she’s certain she can find a suitable match for good-hearted Ruby, even if she is a klutz. As usual, things don’t go as planned, and when Ruby literally tumbles into the arms of shy Joseph Brenneman, knocks him senseless and sends him to the hospital, love blossoms. But the path of true love has a few bumps, and the mountain in this relationship is Joseph’s formidable mother. From their first meeting, Magdalena distrusts the plain, chubby girl from Lancaster County, and she won’t give up until she puts an end to the courtship.

I hope you enjoy Ruby and Joseph’s story, and I hope their love touches you as it has me. Come back and join us soon in the Amish community of Seven Poplars. I’m always happy to welcome new readers and old friends to life among the gentle people.

Wishing you peace and joy,

Emma Miller
