Carol Welty Roper chronicles the adventure of newlyweds in an historical fiction. Oral storyteller and author of historical tales, Roper releases FORTY DAYS WITH RUTH, a novella about a teenage girl's experience and her Texan cowboy husband.
Roper has once again demonstrated the ingenuity and creativity that have made her stand out from other writers across the globe. This is confirmed with the release of FORTY DAYS WITH RUTH.
The book reiterates Roper's belief in the power of story as a vehicle to covey important wisdom and knowledge to her readers.
The reading culture of today has significantly been reduced due to the lack of good stories that readers can relate to easily. This reason has been mentioned as the major factor resulting in the reduction of reading habits particularly among the younger generation. Roper is challenged to change this trend by providing inspired message-filled, thought-provoking and interesting stories to read. FORTY DAYS WITH RUTH meets this challenge. Roper embellishes a true story about her paternal grandparents to enlighten her readers with the message, that in truth, no one is ever truly alone.
Roper engages the reader to experience this story as Ruth and Riley leave all they know and journey across the Red River from Texas to Oklahoma Territory for free land. The couple is soon separated due to Riley leaving to hunt for meat since all their provisions have been eaten. Storms and flooding waylay Riley from returning, leaving Ruth to survive alone. She faces many trials that affect her physically, emotionally and spiritually.
FORTY DAYS WITH RUTH has already received accolades from different quarters.
“This is a beautiful story! Well written. The description of the scenery and characters are radiant. Bravery, faith and love set the tone for a young woman's journey in her new world.
Many life lessons, history and emotion are shared in this amazing story of inspiration. This book is for teens and older and would make a great gift! A cookbook filled with family recipes adds to this novel's charm and provides a hands-on experience to the historic culture,” says Jennifer Bowers.
Roper pours her heart into writing this story of love, causing readers to feel the emotions, see the sights, smell the aromas and odors, hear the sounds and taste the tastes. At the end the reader wishes they could read more. The uniqueness of the book stems from the unconventional yet amazing approach adopted by Roper to encourage and entertain her readers.
Paperback and hardcover versions of FORTY DAYS WITH RUTH are available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and Trafford Publishing.com
