As waters gone by by Cynthia Ruchti

As Waters Gone By pK


How can a marriage survive when separated by hundreds of miles and impenetrable prison walls?
Emmalyn and Max Ross may have to endure the fight of their lives to mend the tattered fabric of their marriage. His actions ensured she could never be a mother and put him in prison, giving their relationship a court-mandated five-year time-out. On a self-imposed exile to beautiful but remote Madeline Island, one of the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior, Emmalyn has just a few months left to figure out if and how they can ever be a couple again.
Nudged along by the exuberant owner of the Wild Iris Inn and CafĂ©, a circle of misfit people in their small town, and a young girl who desperately needs someone to love her, Emmalyn restores an island cottage that could become a home and begins to restore her heart by learning what it means to love unconditionally. Yet even as hope begins to find a place within the cottage walls, Emmalyn still wonders if she’s ready for Max’s release. She may be able to rebuild a cottage, but can she rebuild a marriage?
My opinion: This book has so much more depth to it then so many Christian fiction books on the market and it deals with some very hard issues. I am not sure how many books I have read where the husband is in jail. I really appreciate the characters in this book, flaws and all. I love how the author handled the tough issues and really got me thinking, she did a great job and I highly recommend this book. I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
