RubyLyn Bishop is  luckier than some. Her God-fearing uncle, Gunnar, has a short fuse and  high expectations, but he's given her a good home ever since she was  orphaned at the age of five. Yet now, a month shy of her sixteenth  birthday, RubyLyn itches for more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaybe it's something to do  with the paper fortunetellers RubyLyn has been making for townsfolk, each covered with beautifully wrought, prophetic drawings. Or perhaps  it's because of Rainey Ford, an African-American neighbor who works  alongside her in the tobacco field, and with whom she has a kinship, despite her uncle's worrisome shadow and the town's disapproval. RubyLyn's predictions are just wishful thinking, not magic at all, but through them she's imagining life as it could be, away from the prejudice and hardship that ripple through Nameless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAtmospheric, poignant, and searingly honest, \u003ci\u003eGodPretty in the Tobacco Field\u003c\/i\u003e follows RubyLyn through the course of one blazing summer, as heartbreaking revelations and life-changing decisions propel her toward a future her fortunetellers never predicted.","brand":"Kensington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213933834495,"sku":"9781617737350","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781617737350_s600x595.jpg?v=1775591962","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781617737350","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
