Weeds Through the Floorboards - Hardcover

by Jonna Trusty-Patterson (Author)

Weeds Through the Floorboards is a story told by Ruby Jane Clancy, a young girl raised in a fiercely evangelical church in rural Yell County, Arkansas. As Ruby Jane fights for her salvation and redemption, she is quick to realize that she is different and does not belong. This tragic and heartbreaking tale witnesses Ruby Jane struggling to find love and acceptance from her family and society, only to find the joy of drugs and alcohol fueled by the help of her Aunt Dixie, who specializes in finding nothing but trouble.

When Ruby Jane's mysterious Uncle Kevin and his wife, Francis, appear on the scene, the four of them embark on a page-turning journey filled with deadly consequences. And although this journey proves to be darkly comical and crudely blasphemous, it will leave you questioning not only what religion can do for you but also what it can do to others.
