Ruby by Anna Esther Pearl

Ruby, a young woman growing up in the remote town of Big Chimney, in the deep woods of Virginia, faces challenges not common to someone her age. She is met with role reversals as her mother’s mental capacity shrinks and Ruby is bound to her care. She has the support of her Aunt Myrtle, elderly friend Ginny, a close-knit community, and a cowboy named Jason. This might be enough until Ruby is being visited by a fox who keeps to the edges of the woods and who fills her dreams. This is a tale of love and the mysteries that weave the fabric of family, relationship, and our place in one anothers lives. Follow Ruby as she navigates life under the impact of her mothers dementia, and blossoms, tended by those who care, and a fox who guides her beyond the present.
