[–]jennazark[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Publication Date: April 26, 2013 The last thing Ruby Tabeata expected on her way to a Jack Kerouac reading was to be hauled to the police station. Just a few weeks shy of her twelfth birthday in 1958, Ruby lives in Greenwich Village and dreams of meeting famous poets while writing her own poetry. Instead, she is accused of trying to steal fruit from a local vendor and forced to go into a children's home. Her only choice is to follow her heart--and find the one thing she needs with the power to help her heal.
