I heard an author say fiction brings readers a truth that non-fiction often does not. Fiction writers have a way of subtly and not so subtly revealing many of life's lessons and history,touching readers' hearts and minds in a very profound way while they enjoy the experience. Ruth Logan Herne has always written with great heart and compassion for the struggles life throws at readers. With her new indie release, she gives her fans a reunion romance that pulls no punches and touches on a subject straight out of the headlines. If you like Jodi Picoult or other issue-based writers but long for a bit more romance along with your reality, Running On Empty is the perfect choice. Just remember you'll need some tissues.Anne Kellwyn, a teacher, runner and dutiful daughter, has returned home to take care of her mother in a small town that's seen better days. Chief of Police Joe McIntyre, her ex-husband, is not rolling out the welcome mat even though he is a Christian and supposed to forgive. Secrets, regrets, a small town struggling in today's economy add to the tension and conflict between these two very likeable people struggling to let go of the past and move forward. Do yourself a favor and read Running on Empty. You will learn, cry, and be glad you experienced this love story.
