About this audiobook
A beautiful, raw, and illuminating story about a little girl who lived a courageous life inside the dark space of disease. Some things only form in darkness; among them are gems.
Doctors believed that Ruby Joy would only survive seven days, but as each day passed, her parents chose to believe that Ruby had a very full life ahead of her. In spite of the cruel onslaught of sickness, Ruby’s invincible spirit gave her parents courage to let go of their own expectations and opened their eyes to see beauty in the midst of suffering.
Told through her mother’s perspective, Ruby Joy is both a remarkable retelling of Ruby’s life, as well as an opportunity to mine the darkness of suffering for beauty. This true story will encourage those who are navigating their own difficult journeys, and inspire all to a more meaningful life through the brave experience of this one little girl.
