The characters all had their own distinct personalities and enough quirkiness so as not to feel like the cliché stereotypes, but you almost feel like they are being based on a real person, (or parts of). All the characters were very different and we never knew exactly... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
Drama, personal struggles and triumph, humor and sadness, surreal and spiritual, philosophical and profound… weird characters and relatable ones…….but I was impressed by the seamless narrative and transitions with the different characters. I enjoyed Ms. Cherry’s... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
The way she brings the scenes to life and the attention to personal details on each character really gave this story genuine authenticity, despite the somewhat ‘fantastical’ nature of it. I actually feel like I was there inside this crazy world with Annie, Hannah,... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
(The first being “Living in the Flow” – Amazing!) This one, “Open Your Heart” was a little different, but still a brilliantly fun and creative novel that borders on the surreal and existential. The title comes from the lead character Annie who faces her personal... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
One that will definitely appeal to fans of literary fiction and spiritual self-improvement novels. Although the concept itself isn’t entirely new, (main character facing her personal struggles through introspection and reflection vis- a-vis other characters), Dr. Ruth... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
Once I started reading “Open Your Heart” by Ruth Cherry, I didn’t want to put it down until I’d finished. Seemed never a good place just to stop for a while as the story continued to get more interesting and complex, and so I ended up reading it all in one night! Some... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
Decent writing and a compelling, complex and engaging plot set against a believable (enough) background. It is real, yet has elements of the metaphysical and even a spiritual vibe. I like the fact that it is a fully-realized tale with a fun cast of characters, each... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
If they are looking for an ingenious, insightful, entertaining read that has great characters and can show you some wonderful ideas to change some ways of negative or destructive thinking and patterns… I was impressed with Dr. Ruth Cherry’s ability to not ‘lecture’... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
I’d read and enjoyed her other book, so I was curious to see what this one would offer (although the other was nonfiction and this one is fiction). Great dialogue and it is funnier and more introspective than I thought it would be. It is a quick read, one I finished... by Ruth | Apr 3, 2018 | Open Your Heart
My interest never faded for a moment! I loved the creative and strong characters (like Hannah, Marguerite, Theresa, Alex…) and how they come into Annie’s life to teach her how to improve different parts of herself, and how to “Open Her Heart.” This is not set up like...
