Before Herring Cove Road: Ruth Goldman and the Nincompoop

By Michael Kroft

The prequel to the Herring Cove Road (Not-So-Nuclear Family Saga) series.

With her mother's death two years before, her father's recent marriage to a woman she doesn't get along with, and then finding herself engaged to a man she isn't even sure she loves, Ruth decides to take a year away from home to discover what she wants in life. So with a small savings, the support from her much older and lifelong best friend (her family's servant, ) and little knowledge of the common world, she sets off for Cambridge, England, where she will meet some 'different' characters, learn what life is like for a single, independent working woman during the depression and befriend a young man who makes up for his lack of looks with his wit, amusing idiosyncrasies and his love for practical jokes.

On her adventure of self-discovery, Ruth will find more than she ever expected. Unbeknownst to her, a secret hides within her family that will eventually enlighten her to herself, to her past, and permanently change the direction of her future.
