Book: El Deseo De Ruby In her first children's book, Bridges takes readers back to turn-of-the-century China to explore the conflict between tradition and young Ruby's longing to attend university. The girl sets herself apart from the rest of her relatives by wearing the color red. One day, she confides her wish to her grandfather. A surprise some years later proves that he was listening. The story becomes all the more poignant when Bridges reveals that Ruby is based on her real-life grandmother and that she still wears some red every day.
