Amy Willoughby-Burle
Ruby Foster loves her job as a Pack Horse librarian, but secretly she dreams of being a nurse. Since there are no schools for nursing in the hills of rural Kentucky in 1937, Ruby contents herself with harvesting medicinal plants, delivering her beloved library books, and dreaming. Dreaming mostly of a life that doesn’t leave her living in the past. Until one day she discovers that “past” camped out by the Hell for Certain creek. Could it really be Cole, the one who left her heartbroken so many years ago? Just when she starts to believe in her dreams and hope for love again, Cole reveals his true colors. Or is the truth she sees only another illusion? Amy's fiction has been described like this: "Her contemporary fiction focuses on the themes of second chances, redemption, and finding the beauty in the world around us; she likes to write about the wonder and mystery of everyday life." I agree wholeheartedly. Amy's writing is full of hope, promise and love. To read
