Cynthia Ruchti tells stories of Hope-that-glows-in-the-dark through speaking events, women's retreats, and the novels and nonfiction heart-of-the-matter books she authors. Drawing from over three decades of radio broadcast experience with Heartbeat of the Home, her current role as Professional Relations Liaison for American Christian Fiction Writers, dramatic life moments, and opportunities to sit across the table from others with stories to tell, Cynthia creates an atmosphere in which hope can grow.
