About

Discover the power of faith and the human spirit through Ruby Nell Birt's inspiring memoir, which chronicles how one woman chose to "dance in a flood," work to provide for her children, and become a well-respected part of her community.
Marriage will always have its ups-and-downs - but the valley that Ruby Nell Birt had to walk through was something no one should have to experience.
Ruby Nell Birt was married to Billy Sunday Birt of Winder, Georgia - a man who authorities say killed at least 50 people between the late 1960s and 1974. Known as the deadliest man in Georgia, Billy Sunday Birt went to prison for the last time in 1974, leaving Ruby Nell and their five children to fend for themselves.
Ruby was ready.
Dive into the exciting and engaging narrative of how Ruby Nell's Pentecostal faith supported her as she worked five jobs to put food on the table and clothes on the backs of her five children. It's a testament to resilience, faith, and commitment, showing how Ruby Nell carried herself and her children through trying times, and how she became a respected citizen in her community despite her husband's crimes.
Unlike most true crime books, Grace and Disgrace focuses less on the anatomy of Birt's crimes and more on Ruby Nell's strength to love and ability to forgive.
Perfect for fans of true crime stories, Southern history, and religious memoirs, Grace and Disgrace provides an immersive tale wrought with emotion, history, and thought-provoking moments.
