Review by: Patience in Murray, IA 
This book picks up six years after Ruth Erskine’s Crosses, and once again, Ruth Erskine Burnham is the main character. This one had me in a tearful state towards the end, and is one of the best books in this series, in my opinion. Ruth is married, and in this story I saw the pain that resulted from her marrying an unbeliever. Ruth’s two step-daughters, Seraph and Minta, seem prejudiced against her for reasons unknown to Ruth Burnham. However, she and her son, Erskine, often hang out together, as they seem to be the odd ones of the bunch so-to-speak. Ruth is not very intimate with the two daughters, so has no say when marriage comes into view, yet she knows that the men are not trustworthy. In the end, Ruth finally comes to understand and love them before it’s too late. It helped me to realize how quickly death can come, and the heartache that results from an unsaved partner. Extremely tearful and happy (and convicting), Judge Burnham’s Daughters will hold your attention to the very last word! I loved this one, and recommend it to others with a rating of five stars.
