They Almost Always Come Home is a stunning debut novel by Cynthia Ruchti. Exquisitely written, the novel delves into a woman’s innermost feelings as she comes to grips with her own failings in her search for her missing husband. Highly recommended!”

“More than a storyteller, Cynthia Ruchti is an artist. They Almost Always Come Home is a novel to be savored, to linger over and allow each phrase to swirl around your tongue. Clearly the author is a lover of the melody and texture of words. Each line is sculpted. The reader will delight in layers of dual-connotation and ribbons of sometimes startling humor in this story of Libby Holden’s search for her husband, herself, and hope.”

Becky Melby, inspirational romance writer, co-author of nine Heartsong Presents novels

——————–

“From the first sentence to the last, Cynthia Ruchti’s They Almost Always Come Home is a glimpse into the heart of a woman whose story I’ll not soon forget. Characters became friends as the story of Libby and Greg captured my heart and made this book impossible to put down until the last page was turned and the last tear shed.”

Kathleen Y’Barbo, author of The Confidential Life of Eugenia Cooper

———————

Cynthia Ruchti has written one of those rare novels that will live in your heart forever. So achingly beautiful and stunningly written, it’s hard to believe this is her debut effort.”

Deborah Raney, author of Almost Forever and Beneath a Southern Sky

“A tenderly wrought tale of two sojourning souls in search of hope, renewal and assurance. Thoughtful and poignant from the first page to the last.”
