The Meanderings of Ruby Stewart is a humorous-romance novel about an entry level clerk who is reduced to picking up donuts for personnel and making Ad copies for potential clients. One day her donuts errand lands her a delivery on the top floor with the ad executives and she catches the eye of one James Claiborne, a partner at the Waterman Ad Agency. Upon her clumsy attempt to balance five, glaze-stained boxes and an explanation for her presence, James finds her charming; and the next thing you know she is transferred to the top floor as the assistant to an assistant. But of course, perfect endings don't happen overnight and Ruby finds herself the object of bitter gossip and jealousy. Then one day she is given the opportunity to prove herself more than just an office clerk. The challenge of it all transforms her into all that is needed to magnetize a most wonderful life!

Kick back, grab some coffee and prepare to laugh with a friend!

Plot

Ruby Stewart works her way up through the ranks of an advertising firm, encounters obstacles on her way, and finds romance.

Short story. Basic plot. I thought, however, the author's creativity to push a perfume ad was pretty good.

Characters

Ruby Stewart: black, 45, secretary

James Claiborne: a senior partner in a Chicago advertising agency, around 6'4”, slender

Isabella Vanderpomb: owns a perfume business, black hair

Madeline: Ruby's future immediate boss (after the first chapter or so), 60, pug nose

Alondra Ventura: owns a beauty salon, Puerto Rican

I think is a nice cast with, surprisingly, enough information to get a picture of each, and roles each plays. If I were to give a fault, I would have thought Ruby tolerated a racist boyfriend far too long.

Dialogue

Good voices and words and sentences written in those voices. Again, if I were to give fault, Claiborne gets a bit wordy. Not long sentences, but his 'boss' nature falters in a few places.

Writing

No profanity. A few punctuation errors, a capitalization error and a misspelling.

First person from Ruby's POV

Chapters are titled and although some of them are days of the week, there is more time passage.

The only real problem I have with this, other than it being a short story (and here it could have been fleshed out a bit more for some more details), is the internal dialogue from Ruby. Maybe this belongs in the above section but I don't feel like cutting and pasting so I'll keep it here.

First off, I will give credit to the author for having Ruby explain that she has these lengthy pieces of dialogue. They are part of her personality. This gives a bit of credence to when these pop up, which is are often. However, I don't think some of them work to the story's advantage. I'd say about 60-40 giving the working internals the majority percentage. There was one particular scene where the dialogue ran on and on. This clearly didn't work. Others could have been told by the 'Ruby narrator'.

So, a quick read, well thought out plot. Good characters and character development. A story where the good guys, er, gals, win.

I'm giving the rank I am because of the minor errors (with a short story, these need to be caught) and the internal dialogues that don't work for me, but it is not a bad story and I liked it.

The Meanderings Of Ruby Stewart edition by Monica Handy Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

Was given this book and promised a honest review

A totally different story from all that I have read, and rather enchanting to see the world from a perspective from someone climbing the executive ladder.
Enter Ruby and Mr Claiborne (James) as he enlists Ruby's help with a campaign that is not working and a client who is a pain. The story was cool and moved among a pace I did not think possible, great story and well writen.
