  “I haven't read much about the Old West and Native Americans so this was an interesting new setting for a romance...”

  “I enjoyed this story and would possibly read it again- while some aspects of the story and plot line were a little far fetched and didn't seem to make sense - the genuine rapport that you develop with so many of the characters makes up for it- most of the time.
  Would recommend this book to friends, esp. if you like reading romance.”

  “Restoring Hope is another great romance by Ruth Ann Nordin about a Mandan Indian named Woape who is running from her cruel tormentor Hothlepoya and rescued by Gary Milton who brings her into the strange world of the White Man. After a few comical cultural misunderstandings, Gary and Woape are married despite the protests of Gary’s sister Julia, but Julia is the least of their concerns when Hothlepoya returns for Woape, causing a cascade of events that lead to two deaths.
  
  Even though it is a romance, there is point that makes you question if everything will end happily-ever-after. Ruth has created a world that I truly enjoyed, with characters that I loved and cheered on the entire time. The first in her Native American Trilogy, I’m looking forward to the continuation of the series in Brave Beginnings. Way to go Ruth!”
