From the smoky coal towns of Pennsylvania to the soulful streets of New Orleans, The Way It Was for Ruby is a deeply moving story of one girl’s search for love, belonging, and redemption.Ruby is no stranger to hardship. Raised in poverty and shadowed by family secrets, she is sent South to live with relatives after a tragic incident at home. But the refuge she hopes for becomes a nightmare when betrayal robs her of innocence. Forced to survive in a world that shows little mercy, Ruby falls into the hands of Floyd, a man who offers protection-at a steep cost.Yet even in the darkest corners, light flickers. In a city filled with spirits and secrets, Ruby meets Bebe, a voodoo priestess and the grandmother she never knew. Through Bebe’s guidance and a series of revelations, Ruby begins to uncover the truth about her roots-and her power to shape a new destiny.With lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, The Way It Was for Ruby explores the resilience of the human spirit and the sacred bond between women. Ruby’s tale is a haunting and hopeful journey that reminds us how even the most fractured lives can be pieced back together with courage, truth, and love.
