Customer Reviews

Wonderful period piece

As a Lancaster native who now lives in KY, I thoroughly enjoyed this period piece written about life in Lancaster 150 years ago. The characters were so believable and the setting was described so clearly that I was able to visualize the entire story as it took place in what is now the historic district of Lancaster. I am anxiously awaiting the sequel!!!

A Story of Human and Divine Love

Written by Ruth Carmichael Ellinger, President of Brandon Christian Writers, "The Wild Rose of Lancaster" is a fantastic story of human and divine love. Ellinger drops you right smack into the 18th century and into the life of Elizabeth Cameron, a distressed young widow who begins by crazily hurling her belongings through the glass of a second story window. As her possessions crash like dreams on the ground below, God begins working a divine plan for her safe return to Him. In her brilliant but subtle way, the author beautifully contrasts God's stubborn and determined presence in our lives with the main character's stubborn and persistent rejection of her faith in Him. Readers won't be able to resist coming along to watch, as Elizabeth goes kicking and screaming back home to her earthly father and ultimately back to a loving relationship with her Heavenly Father. You'll be inspired as you watch God save Elizabeth's father, heal her mother, restore her faith and bring a new loving man into her life. By page 388, you'll be dancing on top of a mountain singing, "Savior let me walk beside Thee, Let me feel my hand in Thine; Let me know the joy of walking, In Thy strength and not in mine." This is a must read.

Good new author

I decided to read this after seeing the blurb on the back because I'm a descendant of Clan Davidson and it's rare to have this small Scottish clan figure prominently in a work of fiction. Aside from that initial interest, I found it to be a very well-written book with believable and likeable characters. I'll be looking for more from Ruth Carmichael Ellinger.

From tradgedy and despair, one can find the strength to believe again. This author grips you fast, then takes you gently through the darkest storms of life we all face and then leads us into that bright sunlight of triumph.
