Ruby June has lived at the boardinghouse-The Roost-with Miss Arbutus the proprietor for ten years. The town of Way Down Deep, West Virginia has become her home. She has little recollection of her life before 1944 expect she was found on the front steps of the town's courthouse.
Now pieces her past life are surfacing. Relatives in Virginia are found and she finds herself taking care of her cankerous grandmother on top of a lonely mountain. Will she ever return to Way Down Deep, her true home?
*Highly recommend.
A perfect "good feeling" book. Readers will feel part of the town and love the characters.
Warning: Cedar, a boy, is sad and angry about his mother's death so he curses often. The actual curse words are not written-just symbols. There is a town drunk.
There is a sequel which I am excited to read-The Treasure of Way Down Deep.
