Good story of jealousy and deceit on the part of one sister over the other. Mary allowed her the green eyed monster of jealousy to overcome all that she knew to be right. Jacob , Ruby and Mary are a threesome from childhood, but then their parents make an arranged marriage between Jacob and one of the girls. Trouble! Mary is jealous and schemes to break the engagement thinking she can convince Jacob that it is she he loves. this is a story of love, lies, jealousy, broken hearts and lack of trust. With all that going on, how could there possibly be any happiness?

What is Ruby Regret - read this terrific book to find ouy
Such an awesome story, i could not stop reading. I just had to find out how this story would end. I was so mad at Jacob and wanted to see if Ruby would be too. Just fell in love with Aunt Elizabeth. Thank you for the epilogue - I truly appreciate it. I do not like it when authors just basicly say they married & the end.
This book was beautifully written - thank you❤

Story of sister betrayal
This story speaks to the sorrow of what jealousy can do to a family. It explains that being jealous of a family member can lead to lies that effectively alters the closeness of the family.
The lies hurt everyone involved and a lesson to be learned. The author did an excellent job of explaining how jealousy can destroy lives.

Loved this book!
What a wonderful ending to the tumultuous relationship between two sisters, during which they both learn and grow up. I couldn’t put this book down, and the writer took care to tie up all loose ends to finish the book. I feel totally satisfied with this Amish book.

Good Read
The book was pretty good but it always bothers me when names are switched like when they talk about Rubys deceit but it was her sister Mary and at the end of the book Daniel’s name is switched to David in one line. I know it is the publishing that could be at fault but it is annoying.

Seeds of deceit! Disappointment is the product...
Oh what a tangled web...It is a story well told, Few people consider the end result of a lie, and indeed, lies are usually spur of the moment, not an insidious plan. I did notice, in at least two places, author transposed the main characters, Mary and Ruth, and it's a bit confusing. But, still, a story well done.

Ruby’s Regret
I absolutely loved this book. Mary’s deception about her sister Ruby and the fact Jacob Ruby‘s fiancé believed the lies made an interesting read. This book is about trust and forgiveness. God’s perfect plan for these people.

Great story......
I've enjoyed reading this story, Ruby's Regret, written by Hannah, the story was a great bit of sadness and a lesson in love. Sometimes lessons are learned the hard way, how would Ruby's be?

Surprising story
I started not to like the story. I was going to give it a much lower rating. Forgetfulness does not seem to be an Amish quality. However as the story evolved Hannah Schrock's came through with a wonderful ending.

All things work good to those who trust God!!
Just like Job, when one looses something, by trusting God, one usually will receive better than they had before! Great story. Couldn't put the story down.

Sweet revenge can ruin lives.
The jealousy Mary has toward her sister, Ruby and Jacob almost ruins her entire family as well as Jacob' s and Ruby's love for each other. Ruby's loving forgiveness saves this family in the end.

Good reading. Ending was not what you would have guessed which made it better. Once started could not put it down. Sibling rivalry is very abundant in life

Sibling Rivalry
An interesting read demonstrating how far sibling rivalry can go. It shows the power of unsubstantiated gossip and the importance of truth.
