Two years after her fiancé Miguel's death, Ruth Sanchez still mourns. Sent to San Francisco by her loving family to refresh her spirit, Ruth starts to heal with the help of Abigail Granville, a feisty young "reportress," and Abby's friend, Ted Crane. Ruth's new affection and admiration for Ted begin to crack, however, when she suspects him of following in the path of his criminal grandfather. Just when she learns the truth about Ted, San Francisco shatters in the Great Earthquake of 1906. A story of judgment, atonement and forgiveness, Mending Ruth's Heart will especially appeal to fans of Kit Austen's Journey as they get to know Kit and Daniel's spirited granddaughter and learn the fate of their tormentor, Billy Crane. Praise for Kit Austen's Journey: -"Sternberg has done her research, which she shares with the reader in beautifully written descriptions of the vistas and challenges that the travelers experience as they move westward...This is a feel good book..."
