My Rating: 4.8
Rubylynn is growing up on her Uncle's tobacco property in the late 1960s. Her uncle is very strict. Rubylynn does paper fortunes which have a lot of the townfolk thinking she has more knowledge of the future than she does. There is so much captured in this book – poverty, racial divides, fair grounds
Just like Richardson's other books this captures so much of the backwoods life and it's people. Her familiarity with the South brings it to life with her beautiful writing. Will definitely be reading more by her.
I haven’t heard of this author but will be checking the library for this book. Thanks for the great review.

Wait, this is the Bookwoman author. I loved those books. Checking for this one. Jeana
ReplyDeleteYes, the Bookwoman author! This has a similar feel (backwoods in the South) but deals with different issues. I may have enjoyed the Bookwoman books more but this one is still good. ♥
