Librarybelle The dress present was creepy, and the fact that he watches her while she prays…I‘m not sure where this will lead. 4mo
Bookwormjillk Yeah a lot going on here. We‘re not all that far into the book and so much has happened already. (edited) 4mo

TheBookHippie Only chapter 15 😳🤯 whew. 4mo
Ruthiella @Librarybelle Oh yeah. Mr Bradshaw = creepy. 😱 4mo
Cuilin My prediction is the Bradshaws will be Ruth‘s doom. Mr. Bradshaw using gifts as a controlling device, gave me the ick. 4mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle total creep. 4mo
mcctrish I agree @Cuilin Bradshaw wants a side gig 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO Sigh leave Ruth alone 4mo
dabbe I want Ruth to grow a spine! I want her to get tough like Tess! It seems like everything is happening TO her and that she's not doing anything to FOR herself. Maybe that's why there's still more ... I hope so. 4mo
AllDebooks Did anyone else think this chapter went from 0-60? Ruth was newly pregnant and dumped, and then she has a baby boy and a new lurking pervert! I'm looking at you, Bradshaw. 🤮 I hope we really start to see her character develop now she's a mother. 🤞 4mo
KAO I did like that in the last part of this chapter, Ruth finally looks back on Bellingham and becomes aware of his “selfish, worldly nature, unnoticed at the time” and recognized in his speeches “a low standard, of impatient self-indulgence, of no acknowledgment of things spiritual and heavenly.” I was hoping that a spine was born—but then came self-reproach for “judging the absent father.” Oy! 4mo
Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks yes, seemed really abrupt 4mo
rubyslippersreads I‘m glad Ruth finally recognized Bellingham for the cad he truly is. Now if she can just fend off the icky Bradshaw. 😠 4mo
julieclair I hope you‘re wrong, @Cuilin , but I‘m afraid you‘re right. 😕 4mo
