I'm not usually a reckless person. What happened the summertime of my junior 12 months had not been about recklessness. It was about just how a moment, a single moment, can transform things and cause you to take to to be someone different.
Ruby McQueen is a sixteen-year-old high school student with the name, she feels, of the rodeo cowgirl porn superstar, or, maybe worse, a Texas beauty queen runner-up. Her mom, Ann, one of the city librarians, was reading too much Southern literature before Ruby was born, and Chip, Ruby's daddy, who was simply already thinking of Nashville stardom, thought it could make a great level name someday. Immediately after Chip Jr. was born, Chip remaining to try his chance in the music business and finished up at the Yellow metal Nugget Amusement Playground one express over. He profits occasionally for visits that change Ann's heart upside down, and Ruby's belly inside out.
It really is summer season in the northwest town of Nine Mile Falls, a place where brownish bears sometimes arrive in the retail center and people in hang up gliders soar down the mountains and sometimes get stuck dangling from the trees. Ruby, typically dubbed The Quiet Girl, finds herself getting together with gorgeous, rich, thrill-seeking Travis Becker. With Travis, Ruby can be someone she's never been before: Fearless. Powerful. But Ruby is over her mind, and finds she is risking more and more when she's with him.
In order to keep Ruby occupied and mend her own shattered center, Ann drags Ruby to the every week book team she runs for seniors. Initially Ruby can't visualize a more uninteresting way to spend a day, but she is soon charmed by the Casserole Queens (named, quite ironically, after women who bring casseroles to new widowers' homes hoping of snagging a husband). When the group discovers one of their own participants is the main topic of the tragic love history they are really reading, Ann and Ruby ditch their particular obsessions to spearhead a reunion between your long-ago addicts. But this quest actually is more than just a road trip. Somewhere along the way Ruby and her mom learn the real interpretation of love and freedom from it, specific purpose, and the true ties that bind.
This lyrical, multigenerational history of love, reduction, and redemption talks to everyone who have ever been in love -- and resided in order to the tale.
Right then one of the garage doors gone up, supplying me the fright of my life. I felt frozen in place, and I wasn't sure easily would appear more guilty staying where I got or walking on after I'd already surely been noticed. I don't even know why I experienced so very bad when it was really only a glimpse I had been stealing. My ft, by default, made a decision whether we were remaining or heading -- they wouldn't move. In order the door gone up, identical to a curtain whenever a play is starting, exposing Travis Becker on that almost level, I got still located there, staring.
I didn't know it was Travis then, of course. I only noticed this guy, good-looking, oh God, with a helmet under one arm, looking at me with this bemused giggle. Right away I acquired that Something About To Happen feeling. Right away I knew he was bad, and this it didn't matter.
