Young Ruby, 'the kind of pretty it hurt to look at,' is already quite damaged, but Ephram is forcibly drawn to her. As soon as she becomes a young woman and has any power of her own, Ruby flees suffocating Liberty for the bright pull of 1950s New York City.

With the terrifying realization that she might not be strong enough to fight her way back out, Ruby struggles to survive her memories of the town's dark past. Meanwhile, Ephram must choose between loyalty to the sister who raised and stood by him and the chance for a life with the woman he has loved since he was a boy"--Provided by publisher. 521 2 $a Adult $b Follett Library Resources 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a First loves $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Texas, East $v Fiction. 650 7 $a African Americans $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a First loves $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a East Texas $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Love stories. $2 sears 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / African American / Historical. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 521 2 $a Adult 510 0 $a Library Journal Starred 510 0 $a Booklist starred 510 0 $a Publisher's Weekly 941 $a 4 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201015201.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20171214012525.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20160923035459.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20151203020857.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54AA3642D76B11E4997FB5C1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
