Summary
  1. "When we first meet Ruby Reese, she's a spunky kid in a cowgirl hat, tap-dancing her way through a slightly off-kilter 1950s childhood. With an insomniac mother and a demolitions-expert father, her entire family is what the residents of her small town would call "a bunch of crackpots."" "Despite the dramas of her upbringing, Ruby matures into a creative, introspective and wholly beguiling woman. But her adulthood is marked by complex relationships and romantic missteps - three unsuitable marriages, dramatic crushes, the complicated love between siblings. As Sara Pritchard deftly guides us through Ruby's story, from the present to the past and back again, a portrait of a remarkably resilient woman emerges. Suffused with humor and melancholy, imagination and insight, Crackpots heralds the debut of a skilled and sensitive storyteller."--BOOK JACKET.
