GodPretty in the Tobacco Field by Kim Michele Richardson - NEW

Description: An atmospheric, tender tale of love and loss set in 1969 rural Kentucky. There, a young girl named RubyLyn, much like many of us, is subjected to grueling labor by her God-fearing uncle, and strives to find a ray of hope in her poverty-stricken town through her own tobacco patch, a forbidden first love, and her home-made paper fortune tellers.Nameless, in 1969, Kentucky was a hardscrabble community where jobs were few, and poverty was a simple fact- just like the hot Appalachian breeze or the pests that could wipe out a tobacco field in days. RubyLyn Bishop is luckier than some. Her God-fearing uncle, Gunnar, has a short fuse and high expectations, but he's given her a good home ever since she was orphaned at the age of five. But now, a month shy of her sixteenth birthday, RubyLyn itches for more.It could be something to do with the paper fortune tellers she's been making for the townsfolk, each covered with beautifully wrought, prophetic drawings. Or perhaps it's because of Rainey Ford, an African-American neighbor who works alongside her in the tobacco field with whom she has a kinship, despite her uncle's worrisome shadow and the town's disapproval. RubyLyn's predictions are just wishful thinking, not magic at all, but through them, she's imagining life as it could be, away from the prejudice and hardship that ripple through Nameless.Atmospheric, poignant, and searingly honest, GodPretty in the Tobacco Field immerses the reader in RubyLyn's emotional journey through the course of one blazing summer, as heartbreaking revelations and life-changing decisions propel her toward a future her fortune tellers never predicted.
