Book
Crackpots / Sara Pritchard.
Ruby Reese is a spunky kid, tap-dancing her way through an off-kilter 1950s childhood. With an insomniac mother and a demolitions-expert father, her family is what her Pennsylvania town would call "a bunch of crackpots." Despite her unorthodox upbringing, this energetic girl matures into a creative, introspective woman. But she blunders through three failed marriages. There"s her first husband, Boo, with whom she lives in a circus tent on the Outer Banks. Her second husband, Oskar the Mumbler, dreams of winning the sweepstakes. Her third husband is a professor with an eye for the ladies. As Ruby struggles to learn from her history, her wonderfully genuine voice shows her to be a remarkably resilient woman.
