The Healing Ruby series, by Jennifer H. Westall, is Christian historical fiction that will grab your heart and not let go. Readers are saying again and again that once they start, they cannot put it down. The series traces the young lives of Ruby Graves and Matthew Doyle as they grow through the years of the Great Depression and World War II. Together they face illness, heartbreak, loss, and … triumph with imperfect faith. But through it all, God shows His unconditional love and faithfulness to those who trust in Him.

Love, love, love this series! All the books are historically accurate and portray well-rounded, realistic characters. Story progresses through each book in the series. Couldn’t put them down!
Can’t wait for the next in series
Inspirational in its raw Christianity. Unpredictable in its costly Christianity. A rare treasure.
I am reading the first book now. So far I have read 14% and enjoying it. I sure hope it continues to be as interesting and not go to ‘dragging’ as so many series does.
One of the best Christian Series books ever! Highly recommend this blessing!!!
It has been awhile since I read this series and know that at some point I will read again. The characters were real people you could know yourself. The love between them WAS very genuine and the evil was truly just that. Really enjoyed this series and would certainly recommend.
It was an inspiring Christian read that I found hard to put down.
Fantastic development of characters! Intriguing plot!
This was one of my all time favorite book series! My favorite genre is Christian historical fiction and these books hit the nail on the head in every aspect of that.
The characters are built immediately and yet you grow right along with them.
It starts during the Great Depression and the series ends during World War II. The author includes so many historical details you really feel you are a part of that era. They are artfully woven into the characters development and their Christian journey. One of my favorite lines that a main character keeps going back to is “Prayer doesn’t change God; it changes you.”
This was a journey worthy of a mo vie. So well written, can visualize every.
Once I began reading Healing Ruby, I was totally captivated. In my opinion, this author is gifted with insight into every character’s personality and actions. I could not wait for the next book, so consequently I read the whole series in a few days. I also loved all the Scripture references. I knew many of them by heart, and it was wonderful to see these verses incorporated into the overall story, depicting that “Blessed Hope.” I highly recommend the complete series. You will miss out if you don’t read all four books.
very interesting. Different from the norm
Good book. I enjoyed reading all of them.
I liked this series…sad at times but gives hope. God is good
Easy to read, had a lot of characteristics about God.
The best series I have read in a very long time. Totally captivating!
I couldn’t get enough! Each book is written differently so it takes a little getting used to but once you connect (or at least when I did), you are hooked!!
I loved this series!
This author really brings you into the story.
I thought this whole series was wonderful. I was glad to final get the fourth book in the series. Each book in the series was hard to put down. Would recommend them to anyone.
