Description
Nameless, Kentucky, in 1969 is a hardscrabble community. RubyLyn 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 sixteenth birthday, RubyLyn itches for more. Maybe it's something to do with the paper fortunetellers RubyLyn has been making for the townsfolk. Or perhaps it's because of Rainey Ford, an African-American neighbor who works alongside her in the tobacco field. RubyLyn's predictions are just wishful things, but through them she's imagining life as it could be. -- adapted from back cover
