RubyLyn Bishop is luckier than some. Her God-fearing uncle, Gunnar, has a short fuse and high expectations, but he's given her a good home ever since she was orphaned at the age of five. Yet now a month shy of her 16th birthday, RubyLyn itches for more. Maybe it's something to do with the paper fortunetellers RubyLyn has been making for townsfolk, each covered with beautifully wrought, prophetic drawings. Or perhaps it's because of Rainey Ford, her black neighbour who works alongside her in the tobacco field and with whom she has a kinship - despite the disapproval of others. RubyLyn's predictions are just wishful thinking, not magic at all, but through them she's imagining life as it could be, away from the prejudice and hardship that ripple through Nameless. 650 0 $a Appalachians (People) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cootie catchers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tobacco farms $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mountain life $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kentucky $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kentucky $x Race relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515010609.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021120.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240104011059.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220610010046.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20211215033050.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20211030010959.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210803014638.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210702015646.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99791C6EDAFE11EB9BE3539D58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
