ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Sewing Sisters' Society
Author: Ruth Logan Herne
Genre: Historical/Western Romance novellas
Release Date: January 22, 2019
Hattie McGillicuddy might not look like your typical matchmaker, but Hattie makes things happen in the little town of Second Chance, South Dakota. With the arrival of the railroad and official statehood, Hattie’s determined to bring brides west, and not just any brides. Brides who need the wide open prairie as much as the prairie- and the prairie men- need them! Three pioneer stories of unlikely love are woven around a little town full of homespun characters that take us back to another place and another time but with the same faith, hope and love we cherish today.
The Pastor Takes a Wife
Macy can’t sew a lick, and she’s come to town with a sacrifice and a secret, but when Hattie’s first apprentice is attracted to the pastor of the only church in town—the man raising her illegitimate son— will the truth set her free? Or make her leave the town and her son behind?
Second Chance Christmas
Unjustly accused, Nellie comes west to escape the law. She has a way with tucks and gathers, and every Western town could use more tucks and gathers. She’s determined to improve the drab look of the prairie and manages to brighten hearts as well. But will her quick speech and firm ideas of women’s suffrage draw Levi Eichas closer or send the somber carriage maker running?
Second Chance at Love
Grief has robbed Ann Hazel, but when her aunt pushes her to go west and help an ailing Hattie McGillicuddy turn hems, Ann’s shamed into it. She’s managed to avoid life for awhile, but when Sol Eichas’s nanny comes down sick, Ann reluctantly agrees to help. As she winds her way around Sol’s heart and home, can the two troubled souls leave the past behind to embrace a future together?

EXCERPT
from Second Chance Christmas
He swept her plain dress a look and frowned. “I’d still like to pay
for your ruined gown, Miss.”
“Not if it makes you grumpy.”
To her surprise, he smiled softly. “Well, there’s that.” He lifted his
shoulders. “I should try and do better, there’s no joy in grouchiness. Whereas
in our brief meetings, you seem well-equipped to turn things around as needed.”
“I cannot fret about what can’t be changed, but in my head I see ways
to change so much, and that’s reason enough to be happy.”
“A simplistic reasoning for a complicated woman.”
His words struck her, and then she followed his gaze to her plain
dress and understood the comparison. “Liking pretty clothing doesn’t make me
complicated. It makes me feel good about being me. And when your work is with
fabric and trim and lace, the best advertising is to wear something that looks
good. Something I made.”
“You don’t see that as showing off?”
She laughed and pointed out the door. “You have a spit-polished
buckboard in the bay of your shop. Does it do you well to make it plainer than
it needs to be, or does it speak well of your work for it to gleam in the
sunlight? For the leather seat to be soft, and cushioned?”
“I almost don’t like that you make sense.” He glanced down the street,
then back to her. “Of course a wagon must deal with a great deal of stress.”
“As does every woman
I know.”
