When the Morning Glory Blooms
ByPublisher Description
Becky rocks a baby that rocked her world. Sixty years earlier, with her fiancé Drew in the middle of the Korean Conflict, Ivy throws herself into her work at a nursing home to keep her sanity and provide for the child Drew doesn't know is coming. Ivy cares for Anna, an elderly patient who taxes Ivy's listening ear until the day she suspects Anna's tall tales are not the ramblings of dementia. They're fragments of Anna's disjointed memories of a remarkable life. Finding a faint thread of hope she can't resist tugging, Ivy records Anna's memoir, scribbling furiously after hours to keep up with the woman's emotion-packed, grace-hemmed stories. Is Ivy's answer buried in Anna's past? Becky, Ivy, Anna--three women fight a tangled vine of deception in search of the blossoming simplicity of truth.

“I've seen this book recommended on a FB group many times and finally decided to read it (or in my case, listen to it.. good narrator). Oh My! I understand why it is recommended over and over. What a precious story.. really stories as this book has 3 stories going at once. DO NOT let that overwhelm your mind and lead you to not read it. The way the author lay the stories out side by side and then winds them together is beautiful!
Ruchti provides great insight and offers plot lines that aren't the norm. Several times as I read, things did not go the way I expected but the way they went wasn't contrived or implausible. A reminder that life doesn't always go the way we expect.
I saw a couple of reviews that complained that there were issues left unresolved. I disagree. I mean, yes, there are situations were we don't see how everything works out. But the way the author brings the book to a close seemed fitting to me. We don't always get to see every detail work out in life, but I feel she left us with a strong sense of direction as to how things would move forward for these characters.”
