My Review: I just finished reading Ruby Dawn, yes that is right at 1:15am on a weekday. This book was awesome and once I started it I couldn't put it down. Ruby Dawn is a story about a woman who once lived on the streets as a kid. Now a doctor she works at a clinic helping kids that live on the street, treating them and helping them find a safe place to stay. Since the clinic is not in a safe part of town Ruby begins being harassed by a local gang member who wants a her to give him a foothold in the clinic. Then as she is dealing with this her first love comes back into her life after many years of silence. Well it turns out that her troubles are just beginning and she begins floundering struggling to handle things on her own since she has walked away from her faith in God. This book is filled with mystery, suspense, faith and romance and keeps you guessing at every turn. It was a truly enjoyable read and even though this book is number 2 in a series it stands alone.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Former street kid, Ruby now reaches out to runaways through her medical clinic in the worst part of the city, but her escalating battle with a gang leader puts that in jeopardy.
Cavalier, a risk-taker, charming… Ruby’s first love is now on the right side of the law and the center of a dangerous DEA sting involving her clinic.
