The Upper Room by Mary Monroe Book Summary

The “magnificent, funny, and terrifying” debut novel from the New York Times bestselling author of God Don’t Like Ugly (The San Francisco Chronicle).
 
Mama Ruby’s known for taking things that aren’t rightfully hers, like her best friend’s stillborn infant, who she brought back to life and christened Maureen. She’s also rumored to have done away with her husband. Some fear her, others try their best to avoid her. But Mama Ruby doesn’t pay them any mind. Not when she’s got the one gift God gave her—her precious baby girl.
 
But growing up with a mama like Ruby is enough to make any half-sane girl wish for something—anything—else. And when Maureen gets the chance to explore the “real” world, you can bet she’s going to take it . . . and run like hell.
 
“[An] engaging debut novel . . . The dialogue and setting are reminiscent of Zora Neale Hurston, but the story has a bizarre, violent edge la Stephen King . . . a candid portrayal of the cold-blooded yet fascinating Mama Ruby.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“A chilling story that is bound to astound Monroe’s fans.” —Booklist
 
Praise for Mary Monroe
 
“An exceptional writer and phenomenal storyteller!” —Kimberla Lawson Roby, New York Times bestselling author
 
“A remarkable talent.” —Chicago Sun-Times
 
“Monroe is a masterful storyteller.” —Philadelphia Inquirer

Waist of time!!!!. This book was just ok. The ending was VERY disappointing. There were too many things happening that didn’t add up and the culprit never answered for anything.

The upper room. It was a excellent book to read about a woman who could heal you and knew the lord the way she did and would kill you all at the same time. I personally loved reading this book .

Awesome read 👍😃. This was an awesome read....I must admit that it was dry at first but once it picked up I couldn't stop reading. mama ruby was a mess and then some.I would recommend this book ,it had a little bit of everything for everything to enjoy.

Beating A Dead Horse. The writing style and delivery is always great. However, reading this book was like the saying, 'beating a dead horse'. These characters have ran their course. I continued reading because I purchased it, was waiting on the unexpected, and was ready to get to the end. I enjoy Monroe's books but I hope this is the end of this storyline.

The upper room. This book was interesting , but there was a lot of murder and violence and such that was unbelievable . Quick read

Book. Loved this book I laughed till I cried. The characters are so colorful

The Upper room. What an awesome writer and book and I will read more of Mary Monroe’s books. Thanks k

Best Author. I have read several of Ms. Monroe's books, and her writing never ceases to amaze me. This book kept me engaged the entire time. I didn't want to put it down. Every single one of her books I have finished within 2-3 days because they keep me wondering what is going to happen next.

Truly Gifted. This was the first book I ever read by Mary Monroe and once I started reading it became very hard to put the book down. I found it unbelievably exciting to read. I have since read every book this author has brought out and currently waiting on the sequel Mama Ruby. I advise anyone who enjoys amazing story to read this book.
