Wild Rose
Steeple Hill
Oct. 2004
ISBN: 0373785275
(click on the ISBN to order online at Amazon.com)
"Ruth Axtell Morren writes with skill, sensitivity and great heart about the things that matter most." -- New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Wiggs
“*Starred Review*-- Morren turns in a superior romantic historical in Wild Rose…The story is a blend of Victoria Holt and pygmalion, as Caleb takes Geneva’s education in hand and ends up being educated himself. But the charm of the story lies in Morren’s ability to portray real passion between her characters. Wild Rose is not so much a romance as an old-fashioned love story.

“Ruth Axtell Morren has just been added to my ‘must-read’ list! Her second novel Wild Rose is not your average, run-of-the-mill romance; it is one that grabs you from the first sentence and holds on long after the last word is read… This is an author headed for the big time… Come along on this inspirational journey as Caleb and Geneva seek acceptance and find it in the arms of a loving God and in each other.” -- Blue Ribbon Rating: 5, Sherri Myers, Romancejunkies.com

Winter Is Past
Steeple Hill
Dec. 2003
ISBN: 0373785097
(click on the ISBN to order online at Amazon.com)
"Morren's debut novel is a study in contrasts that inspires readers
toward a deeper trust in the transforming power of God...they will find in WINTER IS PAST a novel not to be put down and a new favorite author." -- Karen Hanson for CHRISTIAN RETAILING
"Winter Is Past (4 1/2 stars) is a wonderful historical account with depth of emotion and conviction"-- BG for Romantic Times Book Club 12/03
"This was a really great debut novel by this new author! I was very impressed. It falls into the category of Victorian Romance along with the likes of the Bronte sisters! Steeple Hill Publishers have outdone themselves with the attractive cover of this novel which makes the potential reader pick it up with interest and gaze upon it while reading it. It is decidedly romantic and compelling. I recommend it to all Christian fiction readers as it will appeal to a large audience, and most definitely those who have a love for Victorian novels."
