Cynthia Ruchti has been telling stories hemmed in hope most of her life, starting with a scripted radio broadcast heard on forty-eight stations across the country. Shortly before that broadcast retired, her first novel was published in 2010. She's been publishing fiction and nonfiction ever since, delighting in the joy of rearranging words on a page to engage readers' hearts and minds and offer hope in every circumstance. In addition to the more than forty-five books she's authored, coauthored, or contributed to, her bookshelves now also hold books of the authors for whom she serves as a literary agent. Her tagline is "I can't unravel. I'm hemmed in Hope."
