An Indigenous woman adopted by white paren ts goes in search of her identity in this unforgettable debut novel about family\, race\, and history--"a celebration of our universal desire to lov e and be loved." (Imbolo Mbue\, author of Behold the Dreamers)
\nThis is the story of a woman in search of herself\, in every sense. When we first meet Ruby\, a Mé\;tis woman in her thirties\, her life is spinning out of control. She's angling to sleep with her counselor whi le also rekindling an old relationship she knows will only bring more hear tache. But as we soon learn\, Ruby's story is far more complex than even s he can imagine.
\nGiven up for adoption as an infant\, Ruby is raise d by a white couple who understand little of her Indigenous heritage. This is the great mystery that hovers over Ruby's life--who her people are and how to reconcile what is missing. As the novel spans time and multiple po ints of view\, we meet the people connected to Ruby: her birth parents and grandparents\; her adoptive parents\; the men and women Ruby has been rom antically involved with\; a beloved uncle\; and Ruby's children. Taken tog ether\, these characters form a kaleidoscope of stories\, giving Ruby&rsqu o\;s life dignity and meaning. \;Probably Ruby \;is a daz zling novel about a bold\, unapologetic woman taking control of her life a nd story\, and marks the debut of a major new voice in Indigenous fiction.
