Official synopsis Publisher
The Root of Bitterness Entangles Two Hearts
One woman’s shattered dream. . .
One man’s second chance. . .
And the faith that can heal broken hearts.
Ruth is the second oldest sister in the Hostettler family and has one burning desire–to marry and fill her Amish household with children. Life seems to be falling into place when Martin Gingerich starts to court her and when she becomes a friend to a motherless child.
But her dreams are suddenly shattered in one horrific moment, putting Ruth’s faith to the test. Finding herself spiritually adrift, Ruth’s only real prayer becomes a desperate “Why, God?”
Esta Wengerd, one of six children, has lost her mother to tragedy and her father to depression. Can Ruth now reach past her own pain to make a difference, or will Abe Wengerd bar her interference–and stifle her healing?
Will Ruth find the faith and strength to rise above the ashes? Or will she forever question her value as a wife?
