V.C. Andrews' Ruby

Ruby Landry (Raechelle Banno), born in the Louisiana bayou, is watched over by her loving "Grandmere" Catherine (Judd). Ruby is filled with hope as love blooms with her high-school sweetheart Paul Tate (Duke), but lingering thoughts of her mother's death and her mysterious father often creep into her mind. As dark family secrets reveal themselves when Paul's parents forbid him to see Ruby, she is further devastated when her beloved grandmere passes away. Forced to flee from the bayou to New Orleans, Ruby searches for her father (Bellows), one of the richest men in the city, as she clings to her memories of Paul and their forbidden love.
