This book wrapped around my heart. I saw my grandmother in Ruthie – (strong, hurting, healing). Maxine’s storytelling is raw and rich, like Sunday dinner with family. It made me cry, smile, and remember what matters. I’ll carry Ruthie’s story with me for a long time.

Ruthie Thunder is a must-read for anyone who appreciates real, grounded storytelling. The writing is clear and powerful, the characters are vivid, and the emotional depth is undeniable. Maxine Nicholson captures a slice of Black history through a personal, unforgettable lens. Highly recommended.

Reading Ruthie Thunder felt like opening an old photo album — every chapter a snapshot of love, loss, and life. Maxine’s words are so natural, you forget you’re reading and start living it. Ruthie reminded me that real strength is often quiet and unrecognized, but deeply impactful.
