Acerca de esta escucha
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.

"Reed's writing opened all of my senses, allowing me to smell the smells or hear the action in ways some books only dream of." --Black&Bookish.com Review "I was impressed with the author's ability to draw one into the story, and appreciated how she wove her story around such an important, life-changing subject... I loved this novel." --5 Star Review Alyssa Elmore, Reader's Favorite Reviewer "The themes of sisterhood and financial freedom, prominent in the book, are very relevant to many women today. I especially liked how the women stood together and helped each other out when any of them ...

What causes a perfectly rational, mature woman to lose herself in a perfectly irrational, immature relationship? For Cynthia Thomas, a single, thirty-something woman, it could be insecurity. It could be loneliness. It could be something deeper. Like a woman who has waded so far into the ocean she's lost sight of the shore, Cynthia fears she's gone too far with Victor. She fears she's wasted too many of her good years. She's no closer to becoming a wife and a mother, and as she approaches her 40th birthday, her regrets threaten to destroy her. Good for them. But when will things be good for ...

Raised by a widowed mother, Jill Reed has come a long way from her difficult youth. But while she may not have had money, Jill never doubted she was rich in love. Her mother, Connie, made Jill the center of her world. Now, even though she has a young family of her own, it’s Jill’s turn to care for her ailing mother. When early dementia begins to set in, Connie starts talking about Jill’s “other life.” Jill assumes it’s just rambling confusion. Still, Connie’s stories about Jill’s childhood, and her father’s early death, never quite added up.

Mama Ruby is a page turner...you can't put down!
Once again Mary Monroe has captivated me with a story that is told so vivid and to the point about Ruby Jean Upshaw. Although her young life was full of tragedy Monroe lures you in and sends the listener/reader on a roller coaster ride. I listened to this book before the prequel The Upper Room but I am anxious to see what happens to Mama Ruby. Great job Mary Monroe!

very exciting
Both characters remind me of a Thelma and Louise. I was sad how it ended. I hope there's a part two .

Amusing and Entertaining
The characters were entertaining and fully-developed. The storyline was amusing and intriguing. As much as I absolutely loved this book, I felt equally disappointed by the ending.

Good story
I didn’t realize this was a series of books so I read the Upper Room first. I’m on track now because I’m about to start the third one. I must admit I found this one more interesting. Some of it was really sad because of the horror some people were faced with even as young kids.

what a ride!
This was a crazy story! Ruby was something else! Her story was a tragic one, filed with levity and sorrow at the same time. What a ride she went on in an effort to find herself and fill a void left behind by a childhood situation.

I love Mama Ruby
The crazy thing about this book is that my grandmother name was Mama Ruby and I was born in Shreveport! What a coincidence. Regardless I love the book a lot and I can't wait to read more by this author.

the whole plot
didn't like the male narrator over a female narrator. I think it would've been easier to feel the story if the characters sounded the way you imagine them
