I am a sucker for older VC Andrews Books. It's been ages since I have reread the Landry series. It has the same soap opera feel and drama that pulls readers into the story line.
Ruby Landry is a teen girl who lives with her Grandmere Catherine in the bayou. Grandmere is a cajun spirtual healer and has passed those belief's on to Ruby. They have a close and loving relationship as Ruby's mother died when she was born. Her life has been simple, loving and filled with poverty but her innocence in more ways that one is about to be taken from her.
Ruby starts a sweet relationship with her classmate Paul Tate but his parents forbid the relationship. When she finds out why she has to make a difficult decision to stick by his parents wishes. Her Grandpere Jack is a drunk and cruelty knows no bounds.
A series of tragic events force Ruby to fleep to New Orleans to find her biological father but the reunion is anything but happy. Her twin and stepmother resent her existence making her life at times unbearable and teaching Ruby that money does not equal happiness or class.
