Customer Reviews

A Fun Read

Ruby and the Stargazers is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who grew up in a small town in the fifties. Elvis, a Thunderbird, and colorful characters make this engaging tale come alive for the reader. It's a folksy, funny, and heartwarming tale which leaves the reader with an excellent message about the importance of family.

A Fireside Heart

Marci Henna is a fireside and her warm heart flickers on the pages of this novel. She has a talent for penning the small, almost incidental details, of life that hold all of the big emotions that we are sometimes afraid to feel and express. A heartwarming read for anyone.

Reviewing Ruby

From the moment I picked up this book the cover drew me in like no other that I recall. I had to know what was inside. They say you can't go back home - but Marci Henna takes you there and it's a most delightful journey. It reminded me about alot of childhood memories and values that I was happy to have brought back to life. I loved the line - "My life had felt so full, but now I knew it was simply busy" and "Autumn" on page 15.

Memory Lane

Having grown up in Texas near the same era the book is set in, I found myself identifying with the colloquialisms and small town living. Reading the book, I anxiously turned pages wanting to uncover the secrets that drove a wedge between Juliet and her sister. I hope there is a sequel!

Delightful!

This is an amazing read. I was thrilled to be one of the first people to experience Marci's book. What fun! She is masterful at drawing you into the story, family, the kitchen...you can hear their Southern drawl, smell the home cooking and feel their emotion. If you are looking for an uplifting escape you must meet the wonderful people of Fireside, Texas.
