I love the characters in this book. Ruth has always been called a misfit, has always considered herself a misfit as a matter of fact. At a period where women were expected to be refined, dainty and graceful, she found herself not belonging in the picture the society has painted for women.
"I could live to be one hundred and never show a fraction of her poise. When I get to heaven, I'm going to ask God why measles are catching and manners aren't."
Seeking for her father after her mom's death, she met people who will take a huge place in her life. and in thee process, unfolding secrets of the past and even find danger looming around.
Ruth is an interesting character to me. Like her, I have never been graceful and has always been clumsy. It makes me glad for her that she she found herself in a circle where she appreciated and uplifted. I also share her love for books and it has always been my dream to build my own library thus I am extremely happy for her endeavor. And to think it was to commemorate her mother and promote reading. So beautiful.
