Book Discussion: "Rubyfruit Jungle," by Rita Mae Brown

A landmark coming-of-age novel that remains a transformative work more than forty-five years after its original publication. In bawdy, moving prose, Rita Mae Brown tells the story of Molly Bolt, the adoptive daughter of a dirt-poor Southern couple, who boldly forges her own path in America. With her startling beauty and crackling wit, Molly finds that women are drawn to her wherever she goes—and she refuses to apologize for loving them back.
