  “Wild Rose is a delightful love story. It is a tale about two unlikely misfits, Geneva Patterson and Captain Caleb Phelps.
  Geneva grew up in a small coastal town, Haven’s End, Maine. Her mother died when she was young and her harsh father raised her. Upon his death, Geneva was left alone. She lives a solitary life selling fish and produce to the local villagers. Her large retriever, Jake, is her only companion.
  Caleb Phelps, raised in Boston in his father’s shipping business has had every advantage offered him. Yet, he is forced into solitary life by his stubborn refusal to turn his cousin in for crimes that Caleb is suspected of. He moves to Haven’s End to start again.
  When the two meet, a slow friendship develops. They help each other’s loneliness and over time love grows. Like a wild rose growing in the field, their loves bears the pain of many thorns and must weather difficult storms, but when it blooms it carries the sweetest fragrance of all.
  Ruth Axtell Morren wrote for the heart of all who have found themselves on the outside of the group at some point in life. Pick up this book for a wonderful excursion into the lives of Caleb and Geneva.

  “Morren spun a magnificent tale with this one. I love the main character, Geneva, who is such an innocent tomboy, whom you feel for when she struggles to keep her independence. When Caleb comes into the scene, a wonderful friendship begins a budding love that will heal them both. I really enjoyed the sensitivity in this story. It played like a movie in my mind and is definitely one of my favorites.”
