the book of ruth
The Book of Ruth Trilogy (Sugarcane Saint, Sipping Mercury, and What Was Done To Me) by Christy Landers Tallamy is a generational saga that explores a haunting family legacy and cycle.
For this series, I created not only the illustrations for all three books, but also the full book sleeve designs and layouts.
