Ruby's Redemption
A gentle clergyman. A broken prostitute. A blossoming love that will endanger both their lives…
Forced into depravity by her tyrannous guardian after her parents’ death, Ruby’s life is one of vile deeds and violence. Unable to remember much of life outside the brothel’s walls, years of despair and abuse have crushed all hope of ever breaking free from her captor’s iron grip.
Until an unlikely encounter with Henry, a gentle country clergyman, sets an escape in motion that will change both their lives. But when Ruby’s worst fears are realised, the uncommon pair will face more devastation than either thought possible.
As the dawning of a new life of peace and love is ripped from her grasp, Ruby discovers that true freedom has a high cost... but who will have to pay?
With no inappropriate language or unnecessary descriptions, Ruby’s Redemption is a powerful, uplifting and poignant story of God’s grace, healing and redemption that multiple readers have said they couldn’t put down!

There is hope, my dear, though the path that lies ahead will not be an easy one to traverse. But, the Bible shows us time and again that one’s past need not define one’s future. God’s grace is powerful to cleanse and heal.
What People Are Saying
“Edwina Kiernan delivers the first of her Gems of Grace series with a strong start in Ruby's Redemption and one that is likely to hook readers who enjoy Christian fiction in historical settings. The narrative and descriptions are good without dumping information into the plot, a credit to the author who has the skill and courage to elect for a slower unpeeling of backstory. In the context of a solid love story in this specific genre, Kiernan does not shy away from plot elements that rarely come into play. Religion is deeply woven within this but is still allowed to blanket all aspects. Many contemporary Christian authors temper religion to appeal to a broader readership, but Kiernan holds unapologetically tight, and as a result, so did I to the story.”
“Ruby's Redemption is a gripping tale of redemption from the sins that separate one woman from God. The love story is told with the spirit of grace beautifully woven throughout and is one that is hard to put down. I highly recommend it.”
“If more books could be filled with this level of faith, Christian fiction would make an even bigger impact in the lives of people who read this category. At least that's my take. I think Edwina did an exceptional job of incorporating it in the storyline and I think it will impact every reader.”
This is truly Christian fiction at its best.
The best Christian novel I have read!
I thoroughly enjoyed the realistic storyline. Characters remained true but not without struggles. A wonderfully clean, yet suspense-filled plot.
Thank you for such a gritty, yet godly tale!
The Christian message in this novel is SO well done. Kiernan doesn’t dance around the issue or treat it lightly. It’s not a Christian novel simply because the characters are Christian. It’s a Christian novel because Ruby and the reader get a solid explanation of the gospel message. Ruby’s prayers, tentative at first, then desperate and heartfelt, are fully open to the reader. The other characters’ struggles with their faith and trust in God are transparent.
