About this listen

Twelve-year-old Ruby Bean has become an Accidental Expert on Missing Mothers.

When her mother, Ruthie, goes missing again due to mental illness and addiction, Ruby and her aunt leap into action to search for Ruthie.

A jewelry store robbery and unexpected kindness from the victim bring more twists to the journey. From Georgia to Washington to New York City, Ruby discovers that sometimes even the worst events can bring the best surprises into one's life, if you keep believing.

Somebody’s Someone is a beautifully crafted story that balances raw emotion with gentle hope. Linda Oatman High brings Ruby’s voice to life in a way that will resonate with listeners of all ages. This book is not just a story of searching for a missing mother; it’s a testament to the enduring power of love, the complexities of family, and the courage it takes to face life’s uncertainties.

Ruby’s unwavering love for her mother, coupled with her growth and self-discovery, offers a powerful message about the strength of familial bonds and the resilience of the human spirit.
