Rebekah Ruth has been a voracious fiction reader ever since she “stepped through the wardrobe” in middle school. Her idea of a perfect vacation is a beach and a book (or two) with an occasional meal sprinkled in. So when her husband challenged her to stop reading for a while and start writing the story she’d always wanted to write, she found some courage and dove in. Three months later she’d written her first novel.

“Where the Pink Houses Are” is a love story, but it’s more than that. It’s about real life and how it hurts. And it shows us that no matter what you’ve done, there is healing, forgiveness and redemption.

“ The Paradoxical Commandments

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”
