But even in a place so yearned for, evil natures lie and Ruby is betrayed. Despite the bitter blow of being turned out from the Banks house, Ruby quickly finds employment at a milliner's shop, and eventually takes over the business. But her worldly success still leaves an emptiness that riches cannot fill, and Ruby learns at last that the love of family and friends is beyond price Nobody s Darling is an unforgettable family saga from Josephine Cox, of the power of love, hope and jealousy.
