In the heart of the bayou, Ruby Landry lives a simple, happy life. But innocence can't last forever...The only family Ruby Landry has ever known are her loving guardian, Grandmère Catherine, a Cajun spiritual healer, and her drunken, outcast Grandpère Jack. Although thinking about her dead mother and mysterious father sometimes makes her feel as mournful as the wind sighing through the Spanish moss, Ruby is grateful for all she has. Her life is filled with hope and promise...especially when her attraction for handsome Paul Tate blossoms into a mysterious, wonderful love. But Paul's wealthy parents forbid him to associate with a poor Landry, and Grandmère urges her to follow her dream of becoming a great painter, foreseeing a time when Ruby will be surrounded with riches in the dazzling city of New Orleans! Yet she cannot know how close that uncertain future looms....
In a faded photograph, Ruby glimpses for the first time the image of her father -- and learns of a shameful deception and a shocking scheme of blackmail that now must come to light. Stunned by these revelations, she is devastated when Grandmère dies, leaving her to seek out her father in his vast New Orleans mansion. There, in a house of lies, madness, and cruel torment, Ruby clings to her memories of Paul to keep her heart alive. For only their love can save her now....

This was a fun bit of trash. Our heroine, Ruby, is living a happy life in the bayou with her traiteur grandmere. She believes her father was a passing stranger who knocked up her mama & never knew of her existence...but she finds out the truth when Grandmere passes away from an untreated heart condition. Obeying a deathbed request, Ruby slips away from her drunken grandfather & runs off to New Orleans, eventually ending up on her father's doorstep. Pierre is rich as sin & living theRuby was one of the first Andrews books that I read and I thought it was a time to give an old favorite a re-read. Out of all the family saga's, The Landry family has got to be one of the best of them. I had forgotten so much of this book. I couldn't remember what happened to Ruby after she met her father and evil twin sister. So that part was like reading it all for the first time. I think now I'm no longer a naive teenage girl, I have maybe a little less sympathy for Ruby. She does tend to get
Yet another VC Andrews book full of twists and turns...Andrews fans know the drill by now, but Ruby proved to be an exceptional addition to the traditional mold. Ruby lives with her Grandmere in the Bayou. They are poor and sell handicrafts and Ruby's paintings for a living. After discovering her boyfriend is actually her half-brother, Ruby learns the truth about her mother and her family. Of course, in Andrews cliche, her real family is rich and doesn't know she exists. So after her Grandmere

Her Grandpere Jack drinks too much and wants Ruby to marry someone she won't love, so she runs away to find her biological father in New Orleans. There, she finds him, his wife Daphne, and her twin sister Gisselle. Gisselle is the perfect character you love to hate. She tries in every way to set Ruby up and get her into trouble...having her put

In the summer between seventh and eighth grade, I read every V.C. Andrews novel that I could get my hands on. Ruby is the one I remember the most, so I decided to look it up.It's pretty steamy...at least from my recollection as a middle school innocent.There are all the classic Andrews plot points: Incest, dark family secrets, young hot damsel as protagonist, a rich man whom she loves, and a poor one who loves her (secret brother? anyone care to refresh my memory?)
