Ruby Moyer's Pineapple Upside-Down Life

It’s 1950, and Ruby Moyer has just graduated high school. She’s got a recipe for her life, and it begins with putting her parents’ broken marriage back together and going to college so she can get a job in Betty Crocker’s test kitchens. But she’s got no money. Worse, she doesn’t know where her mother is. Fueled by dreams of family reconciliation and a glamorous career, she abandons her small Pennsylvania Dutch town and sets off on the trail of her missing mother, squirreling away money for her college fund as she goes.
