Red Ruby Heart in a Cold Blue Sea
Author: Morgan Callan Rogers
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101559837
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
A captivating debut, introducing a spirited young heroine coming of age in coastal Maine during the early 1960s. When her mother disappears during a weekend trip, Florine Gilham's idyllic childhood is turned upside down. Until then she'd been blissfully insulated by the rhythms of family life in small town Maine: watching from the granite cliffs above the sea for her father's lobster boat to come into port, making bread with her grandmother, and infiltrating the summer tourist camps with her friends. But with her mother gone, the heart falls out of Florine's life and she and her father are isolated as they struggle to manage their loss. Both sustained and challenged by the advice and expectations of her family and neighbors, Florine grows up with her spirit intact. And when her father's past comes to call, she must accept that life won't ever be the same while keeping her mother vivid in her memories. With Fannie Flagg's humor and Elizabeth Stroud's sense of place, this debut is an extraordinary snapshot of a bygone America through the eyes of an inspiring girl blazing her own path to womanhood.

Ruby's Heart
Author: Nikki Crawford
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728334705
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Imagine being the only person in the world. Alright, so she’s not the only person, but she certainly feels like it. She’s the only one of her kind in a world packed with humans which feels even lonelier than just being alone. She’s lived centuries moving in and out of the human world never being a part of it. It’s hard to be a part of something when you barely seem to age and when you do it’s over centuries. It’s better to keep your distance. Safer. Getting too close to anyone could expose who or rather what you are. And set you up for heartache when they ultimately die leaving you back where you started... alone. But what is she? If only she knew. The one thing she knows... she’s most certainly not human. She’s the most powerful thing on the planet. Vampires and shifters have nothing on her. She moves things with her mind with a whim, she’s incredibly strong, she heals quickly, and she fights extraordinarily well. She spends her days or rather nights fighting, usually vampires, because what else is there to do when you live outside the world. Killing vampires isn’t such a bad way to spend your time and it allows you to hit something. It’s lonely, but she knows that can’t change. She keeps to herself for sanity’s sake. But when he, a human, walks into her life... she knows her world is going to crumble.

Ruby (Oprah's Book Club 2.0)
Author: Cynthia Bond
Publisher: Hogarth
ISBN: 0804188246
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
A New York Times bestseller and Oprah Book Club 2.0 selection, the epic, unforgettable story of a man determined to protect the woman he loves from the town desperate to destroy her. This beautiful and devastating debut heralds the arrival of a major new voice in fiction. Ephram Jennings has never forgotten the beautiful girl with the long braids running through the piney woods of Liberty, their small East Texas town. Young Ruby Bell, “the kind of pretty it hurt to look at,” has suffered beyond imagining, so as soon as she can, she flees suffocating Liberty for the bright pull of 1950s New York. Ruby quickly winds her way into the ripe center of the city—the darkened piano bars and hidden alleyways of the Village—all the while hoping for a glimpse of the red hair and green eyes of her mother. When a telegram from her cousin forces her to return home, thirty-year-old Ruby finds herself reliving the devastating violence of her girlhood. With the terrifying realization that she might not be strong enough to fight her way back out again, Ruby struggles to survive her memories of the town’s dark past. Meanwhile, Ephram must choose between loyalty to the sister who raised him and the chance for a life with the woman he has loved since he was a boy. Full of life, exquisitely written, and suffused with the pastoral beauty of the rural South, Ruby is a transcendent novel of passion and courage. This wondrous page-turner rushes through the red dust and gossip of Main Street, to the pit fire where men swill bootleg outside Bloom’s Juke, to Celia Jennings’s kitchen, where a cake is being made, yolk by yolk, that Ephram will use to try to begin again with Ruby. Utterly transfixing, with unforgettable characters, riveting suspense, and breathtaking, luminous prose, Ruby offers an unflinching portrait of man’s dark acts and the promise of the redemptive power of love. Ruby was a finalist for the PEN America Robert Bingham Debut Novel Award, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, and an Indie Next Pick.
