When we meet her again, she is living in a small town and working as a waitress. ![]() She is frightened, running away and trying to hide. When the book opens, Mattie, the heroine is cutting off her long hair. It is my favorite Ruth Wind title and one of my favorite books. It is one of her earlier books, Breaking the Rules, that has touched me deeply. I have hunted down as much of her backlist as possible. When I read Ruth Wind’s trilogy of books about the Forrest brothers, Marriage Material, Reckless, and Her Ideal Man, I knew she was an exceptional writer. ![]()
