I had the immense privilege of reading Ruby Moon by Jenny Knipfer and boy did I enjoy it. The tale follows a young woman, Jenay, who never knew her mother but was surrounded by strong and very different women that loved her and cared for her. Her father enjoys her uniqueness and tries to let her live freely.
This tale highlights strengths and struggles and Jenay comes up against some major challenges. Her perseverance and faith through it all are inspiring.
This story is told with an alternating timeline. I was sucked into the narrative and read many pages on the edge of my seat trying to unravel the mystery.
Ruby Moon is a story that will stay with me for quite some time.
I give this book 5 stars and consider it a must-read!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
