"Ruby" was the third in this series of books by Rosa Guy about young black women in New York.  The characteristic old brownstone steps are symbolic of the city.  The reflection of the blue sky in the glass window and doorway conveys a feeling of hope, as does the proud body gestures of these young women themselves.
