Author spotlight
I spent many school hours daydreaming, mostly about horses. Coaxed by my teacher to submit a short story to the Young Authors Writing Contest, I wrote, A Dream to Remember, about a girl who daydreamed about wild horses. That contest opened my eyes to daydream with a purpose. After that, my endless imagination was limited only by how fast I could write, and sometimes I stayed up late at night writing by flashlight to finish a story.

Widow Rosa Hostetler was introduced in Always in My Heart: An Amish Miracle Novella Mary Ellis as Hope Bowman’s best friend. In, Always His Providence: An Amish Miracle Novella by Ruth Reid, we the readers learn more about how Rosa’s husband, Uriah, died and the one of many harsh realities a widow can face upon owning property. Adam Bontrager was best friends with Uriah Hostetler and made a promise with dying Uriah to care for Rosa. Adam is now healed of his scars and is getting back into horse training; he keeps his horses in the Hostetler’s barn. Will Rosa open up about the issues she faces with her property? Or is she too concerned about her chickens? Does God have a miracle for Rosa? Ruth Reid does an excellent job with writing this short story novella. She wrote a page turner for sure.
