Timeless Decisions Cathy Lynn Estes Davis

When Ruby was twenty-five years old, her life began to change. This change in her life would take her on a journey where she continued to confront herself for the problems she created and for her decisions and actions needed in correcting them. Repeatedly, she would stumble, regain her posture and move forward doing what she thought was best for her and her family.

This change in her life began with her living in Ripley, Tennessee and being a single parent in the 1950's. She was the mother of one child, a boy named, Winston. He was the joy of her life. Being a single mother and not making much money on her job, made it hard for her to provide a good life for them. With the help of Daddy Freeman, an entrepreneur, she finally understood that if life were going to be better for the two of them, she would need more than a high school diploma if she wanted to have her own business. Ruby would be determined to attend the best school. She found the best school in New York. Her decision to go to New York with the approval of her family, meant leaving her only joy, her son, Winston behind.

As you follow Ruby's journey to New York and what she encountered, you would want her to quickly return home to Winston, her family and friends. But, before she finally would return home, she would have to decide on a plan that would keep her family together.

After returning home from New York, she would be confronted about the events that occurred there, and about how her decisions would affect the people who loved her. Even though she felt their disappointment, she was still convinced to carrying out and succeeding with her plans.

Ruby's life would continue to affect her family, and friends- through her broken promises, temptations, unforgettable/challenging relationships, job, love and as a provider. Being pulled into her life and seeing why she made decisions to make things better from the situations that were created, you will understand why her family and friends loved and supported her dreams and actions unconditionally.
