If not, then the Boone family is not like yours, and BOONE STYLE, the story of a typical, semi-dysfunctional, Midwestern, family reunion, will be a reminder to keep things that way. The leader of the Boone's is our narrator, an imaginative, eight-year-old girl named Ruby, who's day-long mission, is to negotiate delicate affairs, dissolve explosive occurrences, and offer balance to the family unit.

Disagreements become personal as family members go into offensive and defensive maneuvers. Hope and devotion are strained and weathered as the Boone's tackle issues of the heart, ranging from relationships to pregnancy, to fear and control. As the day unfolds, Ruby's journey of charity and discover becomes one of acceptance and triumph, as confrontation among the clan brings forth truth and admission, tolerance and forgiveness, and reveals a fresh, new world where pride and trust reside.
