Meet Ruby Stewart... I'm what you might call eccentric. I do what I am asked, to the best of my ability, I say “please” and “thank you” and the rest of the time, I tip-toe through life, as not to be heard. Truth be told, I’d rather move to the Himalayas than have a hostile confrontation. Only problem is, I am vexed by these wild dialogues in my head expressing how I really feel, verses what I actually say. In my head, I am a fierce tiger to be reckoned with, but on the outside, a nineteen-fifties, picture of servitude. Welcome to a quick-witted and humorous introspect of a woman who embraces her flaws and honostly shares her thoughts about her job, observations on life and the man she's loved for two years. Kick back, grab some coffee and prepare to laugh with a friend!

PlotRuby 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 Ms Monica Handy 9781533273857 Books 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.
