This books is beautiful. Sometimes contemporary Christian fiction--specifically when it's about a hard situation can be trite and pat. This book is none of those things. It is a lovely story full of beautiful words, word pictures, characters, stories and God.
I was surprised by it---the story wasn't tidy. In fact, I wish there was an epilogue!!
I was entertained by it--it's funny, heart-wrenching and heart-filling.
I was inspired by it--the pictures of hope and joy were so beautiful. Almost parable-like without being heavy-handed.
I'm excited to read more by Cynthia Ruchti.

Having enjoyed They Almost Always Come Home, I looked forward to reading another book by Cynthia Ruchti. I wasn't disappointed. At first I had a bit of trouble following the three different storylines, but as the book went on, this feeling went away because I became totally absorbed in each one. To be honest, I would have been happy with only Ivy and Anna's story. That was a book in and of itself. I didn't connect as much with Becky and Lauren, the characters in the present day sections. But overall, there are many takeaways in this lovely book, and any woman who has loved and been loved, has been a mother or longs to be one, will appreciate Cynthia's beautifully written words and the seeds of hope sprouted within When The Morning Glory Blooms.
This was not my cup of tea, as I don't really jive with Christian Fiction in general. I didn't love the take on teen pregnancy. I probably would have enjoyed just one storyline better.
