Kimberla Lawson Ruby discusses her book, “Casting the First Stone,” which is a book that is very universal and applicable in order that readers can relate to it. Her book describes the life of a minister’s family that loses their focus on the church and turn to material goods. The book unfolds with how the wife must struggle to keep the family together despite the husband’s corrupt lifestyle. Kimberla had no background in writing, but wanted a change from working in corporate America. When she first began, she received many rejections until she decided to self publish. Her first book eventually became very popular, enabling her to write more books and become a writer. Kimberla is very focused on the literature of contemporary issues.
