I don’t even know where to begin with this book! It was a well written book, loved the story line and the unexpected twist at the end. I guess my frustration comes from the harsh male characters. RubyLyn is orphaned and left to the care of her elderly uncle, working in the tobacco fields, left to take care of him and the house in the hill country of Kentucky. She is feels unloved and deserted except for the forsaken love of the black field hand. Her world is turned upside down when she attempts to escape the dead end life in Nameless, KY.
