Ruby has nothing left—no money, no friends, and a devastating felony conviction for larceny that follows her like a shadow. Cast out and betrayed, she makes the bravest choice of her life: to fight her way back to the children she loves, no matter the cost.
In rural Tennessee during the 1930s and 1940s, survival is never simple. Caught between hard work, scarce opportunities, and the constant weight of her past, Ruby is forced to navigate a world that offers little mercy to a woman trying to start over. Deceived by men and judged at every turn, she clings to the only thing stronger than shame—her determination to rise.
Against the sweeping backdrop of the Great Depression, World War II, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Manhattan Project, Ruby’s journey unfolds as a powerful portrait of grit, sacrifice, and redemption. Based on the true story of the author’s grandmother, this biographical historical fiction novel explores the enduring force of a mother’s love—and the painful choices required to reclaim a life worth living.
Tragic, uplifting, and unforgettable, Rock Bottom Rising is the moving sequel to Rock Bottom, Tennessee—and can also be read as a stand-alone novel. Perfect for readers who love the resilience and heart of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and the sweeping emotion of The Four Winds.
