Catherine Adel West is the author of Saving Ruby King. This novel is set in the south side of Chicago in present times. When Ruby King's mother is found dead, the teenaged Ruby is left to live at home with her violent father. Her best friend, Layla, tries to help her. Layla's father, a pastor and childhood friend of Ruby's father, tells Layla to stay out of Ruby's life. I thought this was a very engrossing story about family secrets and how the power of friendship can shape the future. Everybody could use a friend like Layla.
