A tender, melancholic coming-of-age romance set in Louisiana that balances youthful hope and love against the weight of family secrets and unresolved grief.

Ruby Landry is filled with hope as love blooms with her high school sweetheart Paul Tate. But lingering thoughts of her mysterious father and her mother's death often creep into Ruby's mind.
