The Christy Awards Advisory Board is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2016 Christy Awards honoring excellence in Christian fiction. Award winners will be announced via an online event at www.christyawards.com at 4 p.m. (EDT), Mon., June 27, 2016.
Award-winning author Cynthia Ruchti's new novel, As Waters Gone By (Abingdon Press) tells a complicated story, but still, true to her style, one that is 'hemmed in hope.'
In All My Belongings, author Cynthia Ruchti tells the story of a young woman who feels out of place within her own family and must learn to live in the shadow of guilt and shame that haunts her as a result of her father's crimes.
"I tell stories of Hope-that-glows-in-the-dark. No matter what the genre or project, its humor or solemnity, hope's insistence pushes back the shadows."
