Navigate the whimsical currents of Ruby Reese's life, from her unusual childhood in the 1950s, with a cowgirl hat as her crown and unconventional parents setting life's rhythm, to her complex adult years. A journey rife with humor and heartache, Ruby's tale intertwines her various misadventures in love, from three mismatched marriages to electrifying crushes, with the deep and sometimes perplexing ties of family. Through shifting timelines, 'Crackpots' invites readers into the multi-layered world of an imaginative and introspective woman carving out her unique identity against the small-town chorus deeming her kin as peculiar.
