One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies

Written by Sonya Sones

Narrated by Almond Eastland

Following her mother’s death, Ruby is reluctantly reunited with her estranged movie star father in this award-winning and bestselling free verse novel.

When Ruby’s mother dies, she’s dragged three thousand miles away from her gorgeous boyfriend, Ray, to live in LA with her father, who she’s only ever seen in movies. He’s a mega-famous actor who divorced her mom before Ruby was even born, and while the rest of the world may love him, Ruby definitely does not.

But as time passes and pages turn, Ruby comes to understand that circumstances are far more complicated than they seem, and sometimes forgiveness is found where you least expect it.
