Torn
between societal attitudes of late 19th
century America, her childhood sweetheart, a forbidden passion for
another woman, the nobleman she felt forced to wed and her dream to
paint, Ruby Schmidt has limited options. To follow her dream might
destroy those she loves most. To ignore her passions will surely
destroy her in: A
Different Kind of Fire by
Suanne Schaefer
As
in her other novels, Suanne Schaefer again demonstrates her uncanny
ability to create driven, multi-layered characters, place them in
unforgettable settings, then lets life and all its vagaries take over.
Such is the way with A Different Kind of Fire, a novel of a woman’s
drive to create while balancing home, hearth, and the loves of her
life. Ruby Schmidt, a woman ahead of her time, isn’t afraid to keep trying even after she trips, stumbles and falls. Readers are
better for knowing her. Well done, Ms. Schaefer.
On
a scale of 1-5, A
Different Kind of Fire deserves
an 8
