Ruby
Katherine Brigby Lewis has been married to her husband Reuben Lewis for over thirty years, raising three children in Ladue, just outside of St. Louis. With a recent diagnosis, the Lewis family is rocked by past secrets, hidden motives and Reuben's mention of a person he calls 'Ruby.' Over forty years of Reuben's memories, Ruby is seen as more than a figment of his imagination. She was a woman with whom he had a two-year affair before an accident tore them apart. Between the cities of St. Louis, Memphis and New Iberia, we find out what it means to be loved, forgotten and the true price of settling.

Amazing!
This book is a must read! Especially if you are a hopeless romantic, and you believe that love can last through eternity.

Hard to read
The book was full of errors. TYpos, incomplete sentences. Had to decipher the meaning of sentences on each and every page. The story was okay but wouldn't
Recommend because of all the errors

First time reader
I enjoy a good love story. Started off kind of slow but turned out to be great to the point I couldn't put it down

I love this book. I was drawn in immediately by the first person narrative. The characters were so real to me, and evocative of people I've known or felt that I had known.
The evolution of the storyline surprised me again and again. Every time I had a strong sense of where the story was going my expectations were turned upside down. Sometimes it felt like a wild ride but like a cat always landed on its feet!
Honestly wow. I loved noticing themes emerge, go dark then back again, like phases of the moon. I am sure there are more that I will notice on a second reading. Ruby shows the talent and craft of a woman who is clearly called to writing. I hope this finds a wide audience as moved by this book as I was. Thank you Jennifer Harris!
