Summary
Summary
In this stirring prequel, New York Times best-selling author Mary Monroe returns to the "cold-blooded yet fascinating" (Publishers Weekly) character from her acclaimed novel The Upper Room. Ruby is a wild youth, with a thirst for boys and booze by the age of 15. When she discovers she's pregnant, the only person she can confide in is her best friend Othella. But Othella talks Ruby into giving up the child, leaving Ruby emotionally shattered and adamant that Othella is to blame for her loss.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Mama Ruby fans, this is the Upper Room prequel you’ve been waiting for! Monroe not only answers questions about how Ruby came to be one of the most vicious and fascinating characters of our time, but opens up more questions about the love/hate relationship with her best frenemy Othella Cartier. Great dialogue, setting, and more.” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
“Although this works as a stand-alone title, fans of Monroe’s The Upper Room will be thrilled to see this prequel, which explains what made Mama Ruby the one-of-a-kind woman she is.” —Booklist
