About Jeannie Ruesch

Jeannie Ruesch wrote her first story at the age of the six, prompting her to give up an illustrious, hours-long ambition of becoming a Dallas Cowboy
Cheerleader and declare that writing was her destiny. That journey to destiny took a few detours along the way, including a career in marketing and
design.

Her first novel, a fairy-tale like historical romance, was published in 2009, but the darker side of life had always captivated her. So after a dinner
conversation with friends about the best way to hide a dead body, she knew she had to find a way to incorporate suspense into her writing. (The legal
outlet for her fascination.) Today, she continues writing what she loves to read – stories of history, romance and suspense. She lives in Northern
California with her husband, their son and an 80 pound lapdog lab named Cooper.

She is also the creator of the WIP Notebook, a writer’s tool to help stay organized while you write, which you can find at herwebsite. You can also follow her on FacebookTwitterGoodreads and Pinterest.

Review: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd

Hetty and Sarah have grown up very differently. Hetty (“Handful”) was given to Sarah on her eleventh birthday as a slave.

Sarah is from a wealthy family in pre Civil War South Carolina….one of the ‘first families’ in fact.

Though she tries to free Hetty, her parents remind her that she is expected to own salves and she must simply make the best of things.

So the two girls who are similar in age grow up together.

The story of these two girls is told in two separate narratives. We learn a little about each of the girls families and upbringing as the story goes along.

Sarah and Hetty grow close and share secrets and learn from each other as any other young girls would. Continue reading “Review: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd”
