![]() I fell in love with both Ruby and Ephram, despite their flaws. From the descriptions of people and places to the unfolding of heart-wrenching events, Ruby is nothing short of an emotional experience. The writing is lyrical and it’s clear that the author put careful consideration into each and every word she wrote. Together, the help each other heal while dealing with intrusion by outsiders who have a difficult time leaving the past in the past. Set in a deeply religious town in the south, Ruby is about a woman with a difficult past and the man who comes to her aid. Now that I’ve gotten out of the way, let me just say that I really enjoyed Ruby. It’s also not a traditional love story, although there are elements of a love story woven within. While this is true, in a sense, (the reader does get a glimpse of Ruby’s transient life), the bulk of the book focuses on Ruby in the present day, with flashbacks to the past to explain who she is. I went into it thinking it was going to be a love story story that followed the main character, Ruby, out of her hometown to NYC and back again, with all the ups and downs that it entailed. ![]() Let me start off by saying that this book isn’t what you think it is. ![]() Thank you to Cynthia Bond for participating!
