Shes got street smarts, boundless determination, and one unusual skill: the ability to throw a ball as hard as the greatest pitchers in a baseball-mad city.From Coney Island sideshows to the brand-new Yankee Stadium, Diamond Ruby chronicles the extraordinary life and times of a girl who rises from utter poverty to the kind of renown only the Roaring Twenties can bestow. But her fame comes with a price, and Ruby must escape a deadly web of conspiracy and threats from Prohibition rumrunners, the Ku Klux Klan, and the gangster underworld.Diamond Ruby is the exciting tale of a forgotten piece of baseballs heritage, a girl who could throw with the best of them. A real page-turner, based closely on a true story (Kevin Baker, author of Strivers Row).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68171019125024,"sku":"USED1439160058","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Ds5XvjF9L.jpg?v=1794038937","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/diamond-ruby-a-novel-1439160058-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
