Dedication
This story is written for, and with the great encouragement and help of
my very best, dearest Friend and Confidante, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Disclaimer
Writers on writing often say that one writes best at what one knows best,
so I have created a main character who shares many of my own interests and
traits. In fact, I reached a point where I stopped trying to please all other
categories and wrote a book to appeal to my own tastes. Aside from the
Lord Jesus, and chunks of myself, it is filled with characters that are
figments of my imagination, but have become quite real to me. I borrowed
traits from people I know as seemed useful to this story. They are in no
way accurate or complete portraits of them. Otherwise, all the characters,
events and circumstances described are totally fictitious. I hope you enjoy
them as much as I did.
Story Summary
Caring, imaginative, Ruthe supports her family as a telephone operator,
using her free time to rescue others from evil but dares not tell her
prairie hometown Mennonite family. Trapped by her deception, Ruthe must
find a creative solution for her own torment.
Wish a miracle-working angel would rescue you from your family problems?
Wouldn't a friend be great who knows what to say or do in every crisis?
Ruthe is that kind of miracle-working friend. But having so many friends
creates a few problems for her, especially since she doesn't want her
family back in her prairie Mennonite hometown to know about her wonderful
city friends.
How can Ruthe be totally devoted to Christ, winning friends, and helping
them to live holy lives, and to be so blind to her own short-comings?
Watch as her deception and double-life sets a trap for Ruthe, and the
creative way she finally deals with it.
