Publisher Description
Laugh-Out-Loud Historical Fiction!
Ruth Caldwell has always tried to live up to her mother's expectations of what a lady should be...often with less-than-impressive results. But when she's forced to journey west to meet the father she's never seen, Ruth hopes that this might be the place she'll finally fit in.
But her arrival brings about more mayhem than even Ruth is used to. She soon meets Josh McCain, the son of her father's business partner, but discovers some startling news: Her father passed away years ago. And though Josh urges Ruth to claim her inheritance, he grows suspicious of something more sinister at hand when her "accidents" seem to go beyond Ruth's normal bumbling ways and leave her very life in danger.

Excellent!
Cathy Marie Hake transports you back to a another time and place with well-written stories good and evil; but love conquers all!
Too Trite
I couldn't finish. The preachy conversations were too sappy and unrealistic. Faith in Christ is authentic and genuine and should be portrayed as such. Christians are real people with real struggles who sometimes swear, drink, and succumb to sins we'd rather not mention--ask Judah, Jacob, Lot, King David, and the woman at the well to name a few. When we do speak of the Lord it is rarely so rehearsed and sing-songy. In the midst of our messy lives we're usually at a loss for words-- wishing we could think of something meaningful to say, or too scared to speak up. I know I'm talking about a work of fiction, but I thought the author was trying for a realistic historical piece.
Lovingly Inept
Always a mess with more problems than any young lady should ever experience. Compassion and love flow from this young lady who finds dirt and clothing tears no matter how careful she tries to be. Funny from the start to the end, even with all of the sad events that transpire throughout the book. A wonderful story with great entertainment for the reader.
