"Life changes drastically for Ruth Livingstone the day her father puts a
young child in her arms and sends her under an assumed name to a small
village in New Jersey. There she dutifully awaits his acquittal, certain
that her father, Reverend Livingstone, soon will be cleared of the
outrageous accusations against him.
When tragic events transpire, Ruth finds solace tending a garden along the banks of the Toms River—a place where she can find a measure of peace amid her growing heartache. It is also here that she meets Jake Spencer, a man who both frustrates and intrigues her. Fearful of the newspapermen intent on tracking her down and unsure of whom to trust, Ruth knows she must carefully maintain her identity as Widow Malloy. But as love begins to slowly bloom, can the tenuous affection growing between Ruth and Jake withstand the secrets that separate them?"
I really enjoyed this book. I found myself swept up in the life of Ruth and the fears she was facing. The story was intriguing and thought provoking. I thought what I would do if I were her. I am not sure I could have been as patient as Ruth.
This book was written well and the characters were portrayed in such a manner they were easy to know and love.
