Oprah Book Club Selection, October 1997: Gibbons's novel, A Virtuous Woman , takes place in the same hardscrabble part of the world as Ellen Foster. T he virtuous woman is Ruby Pitt Woodrow, a woman who might have ended up lik e Ellen Foster's mother if fate, in the shape of Jack Stokes, hadn't crosse d her path. The daughter of prosperous farmers, Ruby runs off with a migran t worker who treats her badly, then abandons her far from home. When she me ets Jack, a man 20 years her senior, she's working as a cleaning woman in a nother prosperous farmer's house. Jack is a man women don't look at even on ce, let alone twice; Ruby is a woman who needs someone to take care of her. Out of this unlikely union grows a quiet kind of love that is no less powe rful for being unstated.
