Rating: 
An intertwining tale of two magical and troubled lives, Ruby is a gripping mix of fantasy and reality.
Ruby has always been different. Not just because she hides things.
She sees things. She hears things. She knows things. Her father has always ignored it. But she knows it’s real.
She moves across the country, to LA, to take a job as a nanny. She wants to be able to leave herself behind. An ex-boyfriend shows up at her employer’s door. Some things are easier said than done.
She leave LA and travels to England. Here the magic is stronger than ever. In the midst of what feels like only lies, she finds a family, her dream, and even herself. What started as a good cover story turns into a reality, freeing her from life-long demons.
