“The Story of Uncle Bud Robinson's Daughter told by her Granddaughter.” With previously unpublished family photos. Readers across a wide spectrum of ages will enjoy Miss Ruby from Texas, an intimate glimpse into Bud Robinson’s family life written by his great-granddaughter, Celia Jolley. The family dynamics demonstrate that even in sanctified households, there are still individual personalities that make life happy, sad, and even challenging. The former slave who acts as midwife at the birth of Ruby; the college students who board at the Robinson homes during the days of Texas Holiness University, and later in Pasadena, California; Ruby’s beloved sister who marries while still a teenager; the matrons of the young women’s academy at Ruby’s first job after graduating from college— all weave a rich backdrop for the tapestry of this story. Through it all runs the thread of a young lady balancing the mother-daughter conflicts of adolescence and early womanhood with a life of entire sanctification. And then, along comes the man from Texas.
