Book excerpt: The new edition of a modern classic by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Mary Monroe! Everyone from Louisiana to Florida knows Mama Ruby--a small-town girl who became one of the South's most notorious and volatile women. In this beautiful reissue, New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe reveals how the indomitable heroine of her acclaimed classic The Upper Room continues to vex the family she's left behind. Mama Ruby has died and Maureen Montgomery is finally taking charge of her own life. With her beautiful teenage daughter, Loretta, by her side, she returns to Florida and settles into a routine any other woman would consider bland. But for Maureen and her brother, Virgil, after Mama Ruby's hair-trigger temper and murderous ways, bland is good. Yet Loretta has other ideas . . . Set on becoming rich and famous, Loretta convinces Maureen to let her start a modeling career with the help of a Miami photographer. But even as they move in promising new directions, they can't escape Mama Ruby--including Virgil, who's concealed one of her most shocking acts for most of his life. To make a future that's truly hers, Maureen will have to take on a bit of Mama Ruby's strength, forge new bonds--and face down the past.

Book Synopsis Ruby (Oprah's Book Club 2.0) by : Cynthia Bond
Download or read book Ruby (Oprah's Book Club 2.0) written by Cynthia Bond and published by Hogarth. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just because you feel ordinary doesn't mean you aren't extraordinary to someone else. Sixty-two-year-old Elsie knows what she likes. Custard creams at four o'clock, jigsaw puzzles with a thousand pieces, her ivy covered, lavender-scented garden. Ten-year-old Billy would rather spend his Saturdays kicking a ball, or watching TV, or anything really, other than being babysat by his grumpy neighbour Elsie and being force fed custard creams. If it was up to them, they'd have nothing to do with each other. Unfortunately, you can't choose who you live next door to. But there is always more to people than meets the eye... Elsie doesn't know that Billy's afraid to go to school now, or why his mother woke him up in the middle of the night with an urgent shake, bags already packed, ready to flee their home. Billy doesn't know that the rusting red tin he finds buried in Elsie's treasured garden is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode her carefully organised life. And that when he digs it up, he is unearthing a secret that has lain dormant for twenty-eight years... This moving tale is for anyone who has ever felt the pang of loneliness, or worried that their broken heart might never be the same again. Fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, The Keeper of Lost Things and The Library of Lost and Found will fall head over heels for this life-affirming novel that shows us that if you're willing to take a risk, happiness is only ever a heartbeat away.

Download or read book Ruby´s Story written by India Millar and published by India Millar. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War defined the three Beardsley sisters. War between the nations, and even more, war between themselves. Conflict shaped them. Defined what they were; what they were to become. Ruby´s tale is the story of the darker side of family life; a story of conflict between sisters. A story where nothing is taboo. Nothing is forbidden. Of all the numerous Beardsley brood, Ruby was the first to arrive, popping into the world on the first day of the 20th Century. As soon as her Father showed Ruby her picture in the local newspaper, Ruby knew that she was destined to be special. Had been born special. Not for her the daily grind of working in Dad´s shop. She was going to be somebody. She had the looks and the brains to do it, and by hell or high water she was going to achieve what she wanted. No matter how she did it. When she cheated death by inches at work in the dangers of the Barnbow munitions factory during the Great War, she knew she had to move on. When she married her adoring husband, Roy, and moved to London to start her own fashion empire, Ruby thought she had finally arrived. But she was wrong. There was more, so much more in store for her than she could ever know. A passionate affair with her sister´s husband. A revenge relationship with her other sister´s lover. The ambition of a lifetime won and lost; won by hard work and talent, only to be lost when war came into her life yet again. And yet it was also war that gave her the greatest opportunity in her life. Ruby´s story is her story, but it is also the dramatic roller coaster tale of how she interacts with her two sisters, Coral and Pearl, through life and love and betrayal. The story of how, between them, the three sisters forge very different lives for themselves. Together and apart. But always, always winning. One way or another. The Sisters at War Trilogy is family life; the kind of family life that makes you grateful it is not your own story. Not your family.
