The Foxy Reviewist
“I loved this 5 star read and think it could be one of Kate’s best contemporaries yet. Such wonderful characters and a story told with sensitivity and caring. Beautifully written. So many issues that we all face were faced by Ruthie and the twists and turns of her life were like those that many of us can relate to. If you are a Kate Lloyd fan you will not want to miss this story. If you are not familiar with Kate, please read this as I am sure you will see why we all love her.”

The Mary Reader
“Watch out readers, Lloyd has done it again. She just might have found her niche women’s contemporary fiction. You are going to want to stop everything and run and grab a copy of this latest masterpiece.”

Wonderful story and characters. These are situations that could affect anyone at anytime. I couldn’t put it down. – Shirley Reagan, 5-star review

Life’s struggle’s beautifully written

Oh my goodness, my heart went out to Ruthie! I can’t imagine the pain she had but knowing she is an overcomer and did not let the tragic events in her life weigh heavy on her heart and take her down. She reminded us that keeping faith you can overcome the worst fears you can go through. She held strong and became a better person and brought happiness to her and her family. Ms. Lloyd has written a story of heartache and struggles and gifted Ruthie a happily ever after. – Sharon, 5-star review

Amazing

Kate highlights real life situations that are stressful and people deal with daily. A rebellious teen, aging parents with health issues and a husband who left Ruthie for another woman. The storyline grabs you from page one and you continue to read to see how they all handle their situations.  – Bluegrass Baby, 5-star review

Fans of Amish fiction are already familiar with Kate Lloyd’s writing talents but this new book showcases her fantastic ability for creating realistic and powerful contemporary women’s fiction. Ruthie and the other characters aren’t perfect and this story isn’t always happy but Lloyd peppers it with hope, faith, and grace. This is a poignant depiction of the struggles experienced by women of the “sandwich generation”. Kate Lloyd never disappoints me, and I highly recommend Reinventing Ruthie!. – Connie S, 5-star reivew

Wonderful story and characters. – Dawn Crawford, 5-star reivew

The story is real life events that many others have experienced. I can relate to some of the issues as I am sure others will be able to as well. It is definitely a good read. I enjoy the author’s style of writing. I have usually read her Amish fiction, but this is definitely just as amazing a book as those, just totally different. I love how the story continues and how the talented writing tells a poignant story of an imperfect life and working through it all. – Sunnie, 5-star reivew
