À propos de cet audio

Atmospheric and searingly honest, GodPretty in the Tobacco Field is Coal Miner's Daughter meets Winter's Bone in a gripping tale of tender love and loss.

Nameless, Kentucky, in 1969 is a hardscrabble community where jobs are few and poverty is a simple fact - just like the hot Appalachian breeze or the pests that can wipe out a tobacco field in days. 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 16th birthday, RubyLyn itches for more.

Maybe it's something to do with the paper fortune-tellers 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.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book. I wanted so much for history to not repeat itself for Ruby-Lyn and Rainey, but given the time .. 💔. I will look gif more good listens from Kim Michele Richardson.

It’s been a long time since I wept at a book. This one had me bawling. The beautiful colors of every main character and the absolute hope and tragedy. I faught for Ruby Lynn at every corner and wanted so much to hold that young girl in my arms. Beautifully done. And now one of my very favorites.

Stunning and heartbreaking.
