When the Morning Glory Blooms



Title: WHEN THE MORNING GLORY BLOOMS
Author: Cynthia Ruchti
Publisher: Abingdon Press
April 2013
ISBN: 978-1426735431
Genre: Women’s fiction

Becky rocks a baby that rocked her world.

Sixty years earlier, with her fiancé Drew in the middle of the Korean Conflict, Ivy throws herself into her work at a nursing home to keep her sanity and provide for the child Drew doesn't know is coming. Ivy cares for Anna, an elderly patient who taxes Ivy's listening ear until the day she suspects Anna's tall tales are not the ramblings of dementia. They're fragments of Anna's disjointed memories of a remarkable life. Finding a faint thread of hope she can't resist tugging, Ivy records Anna's memoir, scribbling furiously after hours to keep up with the woman's emotion-packed, grace-hemmed stories.

Is Ivy's answer buried in Anna's past? Becky, Ivy, Anna--three women fight a tangled vine of deception in search of the blossoming simplicity of truth.

WHEN THE MORNING GLORY BLOOMS is Ms. Ruchti’s second emotion-packed women’s fiction novel. This one deals with three unwed mothers tied together only by the secrets they carry, the hurt they caused loved ones by their decisions, and the uncertainty on how to proceed.

This is a book that every innocent teen girl needs to read before they take that step. It’s a story every mother needs to read and every girl who has succumbed needs to read. And it’s a must have for every crisis pregnancy center in the nation.

I’m donating my copy to the local crisis pregnancy center to pass around – after my daughter reads it. It is hard to read in one setting. This is a book that takes time. And thought. And a box of tissues.

Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. 


$14.99. 352 pages. 4 stars.
