Mama Ruby
(Large Print)
Description
"Growing up in Shreveport, Ruby Jean Upshaw is a girl who knows what she wants and knows how to get it. By fifteen, Ruby has developed a taste for fast men and cheap liquor, and not even her preacher daddy can set her straight. When Ruby discovers she's in the family way, she's scared for the first time in her life. Hiding it, she gives birth at the home of Othella Mae Cartier, daughter of the town tramp. Othella talks Ruby into giving the child away and--with the help of a shocking revelation--running off with her to New Orleans."--P. [4] of cover.
