Saving Ruth: A Deeply Engaging Southern Coming-of-Age Novel of a Jewish Woman Confronting Anorexia and Family in Alabama

A wonderful coming-of-age novel from Zoe Fishman, author of Balancing Acts, Saving Ruth tells the story of a fish-out-of-water young Jewish woman, returning to her Alabama hometown after a semester at a â€œYankee college,â€ only to discover that lifeâ€”and she, herselfâ€”havenâ€™t really changed in the ways sheâ€™d hoped. Southern fiction with a pungent twist, Saving Ruth is a wonderfully evocative, delightfully engaging tale that, nonetheless, seriously addresses provocative issues like anorexia, family dynamics, and the racial and ethnic tensions of the Deep South.
