Chaucer’s Book Signing-Local Author and Restaurateur Christine Gallagher
Sunday, June 29, 2025 3 PM
Chaucer’s Books (3321 State Street) hosts local author and restaurateur Christine Gallagher for a book talk and signing of Ruby’s Revenge.
Description When Ruby Bixler answers her husband’s phone, she doesn’t just learn about his affair-she uncovers a web of lies that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Brad Diamond, the trusted TV news anchor with the perfect smile, has not only betrayed their marriage but is also scheming to take away the home Ruby painstakingly built into a sanctuary.
Determined not to let Brad’s deceit define her, Ruby teams up with her vibrant, no-nonsense best friend, Dottie, to uncover the full truth-and to get even. But revenge isn’t just about plotting. It’s about rediscovering her self-worth and challenging the timid, people-pleasing version of herself she’s always known.
As Ruby navigates the trials of standing up to her husband, facing her overbearing mother, and taking charge at her chaotic workplace, she evolves into a woman stronger and bolder than she ever imagined. Along the way, she learns the most powerful truth of all: taking control of her life is the ultimate act of revenge.
Ruby’s Revenge is a darkly humorous and empowering story of betrayal, self-discovery, and triumph. For fans of Liane Moriarty and Taylor Jenkins Reid, Christine Gallagher crafts a tale that’s equal parts cathartic and compelling, reminding us all that the best revenge starts within.
