Ada, Ruby

Ever met two friends who seem to have nothing in common, but are loyal to the core? That's Ada and Ruby. They're opposites in every way. Ada has education up to her ears; Ruby has practically none. Ada's been raised as a Charleston lady; Ruby has carved out her own living in the backwoods. Ada owns a farm; Ruby has practically nothing. Ruby can run a farm; Ada can't cook dinner. Though the contrasts between them are huge, they also become the source of a deep friendship, as the two women learn to work together.
