Summary:
"When we first meet
Ruby
, a Métis woman in her 30s, she's a mess. She's angling to sleep with her therapist while also rekindling an old relationship with a man who was -- let's just say -- a mistake. As we will soon learn, however,
Ruby
's story is far broader and deeper than its rollicking, somewhat lighthearted first chapter. This is the story of a woman in search of herself, in every sense. Given up for adoption as an infant,
Ruby
was raised by a white couple who understand little of her Indigenous heritage. Growing up
Ruby
longs to know where she comes from and who her people are. This is the great mystery that hovers over her life and the book. Through a non-chronological structure, we meet the people who have shaped her life: her adoptive parents; her birth parents and grandparents; the men and women
Ruby
has been romantically involved with. All these characters form a kaleidoscope of stories, giving
Ruby
's life dignity and meaning."--Publisher.
