It's Christmas Eve, the night of the grand reopening of Ruby's Place. But the Christmas spirit is nowhere to be found.Anticipation should be soaring as Ruby's Place, the beloved supper club, prepares for its grand reopening. Carols should be ringing, glasses clinking, and joy filling the air. But the tinsel is looking tarnished and trampled-on to everyone in the town of Sullivan. No one seems to be in the mood to celebrate at Ruby's.Walter, the guardian of the town's memories, knows what's keeping them away-it's not the decorations that have lost their luster, it's their cherished recollections. Walter's got to convince his son Scott to help him bring the sparkle back to Christmas Eve. He can only hope his story of a mysterious box and an enigmatic old couple will convince his son that there's more to Ruby's Place than marshmallows and candlelight. And there's more to the long-closed vault in the Bank of Sullivan than empty safe deposit boxes.The clock is ticking as Walter strives to reignite the dwindling festive spirit and remind Sullivan that the power of Christmas resides in the timeless memories they all hold dear.

Auggie and her grandfather, Gus, incorporate found objects in a home beautification project. Along the way, his welding torch and her imagination allow them to save their entire neighborhood, while gaining acclaim as folk artists.

~If you enjoy I Remember You, you'll love the entire Ruby's Place Christmas Collection.~Welcome to the Grand Reopening of Ruby's PlaceRob & Geena 4Ever 1987 - words carved into a sidewalk square in Sullivan, Missouri. Today, Rob and Geena have become little more than hazily remembered small-town gossip, a sweet story of first love between the high school bad boy and the smartest girl in the class. At least, until Professor Geena Barister returns home after her father's heart attack. Now, with so much time and distance having passed between them, it will take nothing short of a miracle to get the two to even speak again. As luck would have it, though, Ruby's Place is about to reopen. Ruby's, where the "spirits" are more than the dusty liquors in bottles behind the bar, and reunions of the heart are encouraged-no charge. For Rob and Geena (and anyone in Sullivan who enters the bar on its wintry opening night), love promises to be the specialty served on the house, while the endearing refrain of "I Remember You" plays on...~The Ruby's Place series doesn't necessarily have to be read in any particular sequence.
