Description

From the best-selling author of God Don't Like Ugly and winner of the PEN Oakland National Literary Award, this spectacular novel, told in the tradition of Alice Walker and Toni Morrison, is set in a migrant worker camp in the Florida Everglades. Filled with richly drawn characters, most memorable of all is the indomitable Mama Ruby, the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, a woman with healing hands, a voracious appetite and a switchblade and crucifix at her bosom. 'Supremely rich in language and blessed with genuine originality' - Financial Times

display_description	Warm, energetic, and charming. --The Houston Post Mama Ruby's known for taking things that aren't rightfully hers, like her best friend's stillborn infant, who she brought back to life and christened Maureen. She's also rumored to have done away with her husband. Some fear her, others try their best to avoid her. But Mama Ruby doesn't pay them any mind. Not when she's got the one gift God gave her--her precious baby girl. "Monroe's literary canvas is painted with verve and humor and passion." --Christian Science Monitor But growing up with a mama like Ruby is enough to make any half-sane girl wish for something--anything--else. And when Maureen gets the chance to explore the "real" world, you can bet she's going to take it. . .and run like hell. "There is an electricity and vitality to this novel that makes it unique. Mary monroe is a remarkable talent." --Chicago Sun-Times
