 About the book: As Waters Gone By (Abingdon, May 2015) 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 Café, 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?

Find Cynthia online: website, Twitter, Facebook My Review: "As Waters Gone By" by Cynthis Ruchti is one of those books that immediately draws the reader completely into and stays long after the story is done. Emmalyn had a happy life, seemingly content, until she missed a phone call from her husband by three minutes. These three seconds cause her life to completely change and she is faced with some hard trials to face and decisions to make. Emmalyn was easy to empathize with and I found myself through the book asking myself what I would do if I were in her shoes and I honestly didn't have clear answers. This story is a great summer read as Emmalyn is on an island sorting through her thoughts and life and working on a cottage, truly a summer setting. This is an emotional read with so many layers to it and one that leaves the reader with hope at the end.
