Sixteen-year-old Ruth lives on a plantation in Alabama and shortly after the
Civil War she finds out that she was adopted.  She has a fight with her
parents over it and runs away to find her birth family.  Shortly after
leaving the plantation, she meets a cowboy who helps her on her journey.
Eventually she finds her older sister, Naomi and they both end up living on
a ranch with two single, elderly ladies.  One day, they even find their
birth father.  Can Ruth find happiness living away the family that raised
her?  Will ever be able to face they again after running away? This 174 page
book is the second book written by a girl currently enrolled in our local
County Community College.  Although I would have liked to see the author
explore some of the character elements a little deeper, it is a good read
and I am sure kids interested in this era will enjoy it.
