I love Mama Ruby

The crazy thing about this book is that my grandmother name was Mama Ruby and I was born in Shreveport! What a coincidence. Regardless I love the book a lot and I can't wait to read more by this author.

the whole plot

didn't like the male narrator over a female narrator. I think it would've been easier to feel the story if the characters sounded the way you imagine them

What??

The book was amazing. However, I did not like the ending. Mama Ruby steals the baby and that's it. I was expecting more at the end. But Ms. Monroe, you are an amazing writer. ❤️

BOOK BUCKET LIST

after 30 years, I finally finally finished both books Mama Ruby and the upper room. I really enjoyed listening to both the prequel and the sequel.

Good story

I didn’t realize this was a series of books so I read the Upper Room first. I’m on track now because I’m about to start the third one. I must admit I found this one more interesting. Some of it was really sad because of the horror some people were faced with even as young kids.
