Filled with humor, poignancy, cookies, and treasure maps, Ruby Holler is about a special place where it's never too late to be loved.Dallas and Florida have been dubbed the "trouble twins." They have been shuffled between foster families and orphanages all their lives, longing only for a loving place to call home, though mistrustful that one exists for the likes of them.
