Book Description:
When Ruth Ann Templeton’s husband, Drew, leaves her for another woman Ruthie is devastated.

Their relationship blossoms just as Ruthie’s husband moves home asking for forgiveness. But can Ruthie trust and forgive him or any man?
My Thoughts: An Emotional Roller Coaster Ride
Life sometimes seems like a constant roller coaster with its ups and down. We go from childhood to teen years, teen years to adulthood, watch our children go through their own stages of life, and on it goes. Each stage has its own ups and downs. Some are happy times and some not so much. And that is what makes Reinventing Ruthie such a pleasant read.
Ruthie is experiencing many changes. While she and Drew deal with the effects of the changes they're facing as a couple, they also are dealing with its effects on their daughters. Add to that the changes that Ruthie's parents are experiencing, and you have quite a lot going on. How this all gets dealt with and how it affects everyone, especially Ruthie, had me on an emotional roller coaster of my own. At times the story was heart wrenching, other parts had me smiling and yet others almost had me in tears. Wondering how it would all play out and wondering if forgiveness would be a thing kept me turning pages up to the very end, and I think it will do the same for anyone who reads it.
