Product Information

A powerful novel that's "hilarious, heartbreaking, and ass-kicking" (Jamie Ford) about a Puerto Rican family in Staten Island who discovers their long-missing sister is potentially alive and cast on a reality TV show, and sets out to bring her home. Winner of the 2024 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction - Longlisted for the Aspen Words Literary Prize - March Indie Next Pick - Belletrist, Phenomenal, Page & Pairing, and Readers Digest book club pick The Ramirez women of Staten Island orbit around absence. When thirteen-year-old middle child Ruthy disappeared after track practice without a trace, it left the family scarred and scrambling. One night, twelve years later, oldest sister Jessica spots a woman on her TV screen in Catfight, a raunchy reality show. She rushes to tell her younger sister, Nina: This woman's hair is dyed red, and she calls herself Ruby, but the beauty mark under her left eye is instantly recognizable. Could it be Ruthy, after all this time? The years since Ruthy's disappearance haven't been easy on the Ramirez family. It's 2008, and their mother, Dolores, still struggles with the loss, Jessica juggles a newborn baby with her hospital job, and Nina, after four successful years at college, has returned home to medical school rejections and is forced to work in the mall folding tiny bedazzled thongs at the lingerie store. After seeing maybe-Ruthy on their screen, Jessica and Nina hatch a plan to drive to where the show is filmed in search of their long-lost sister. When Dolores catches wind of their scheme, she insists on joining, along with her pot-stirring holy roller best friend, Irene. What follows is a family road trip and reckoning that will force the Ramirez women to finally face the past and look toward a future--with or without Ruthy in it. What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is a vivid family portrait, in all its shattered reality, exploring the familial bonds between women and cycles of generational violence, colonialism, race, and silence, replete with snark, resentment, tenderness, and, of course, love.

Reviews
"At turns desperate and witty, fresh and familiar, Jiménez's debut taps into universal themes of familial relationships and shines a light on the lasting intergenerational effects of colonialism, violence, racism and tradition." -- Ms. magazine, "At turns desperate and witty, fresh and familiar, Jiménez's debut taps into universal themes of familial relationships and shines a light on the lasting intergenerational effects of colonialism, violence, racism and tradition." -- Ms. Magazine, "The universe of Claire Jiménez's brilliant debut novel, What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez , sparkles with several generations of Puerto Rican women navigating issues of race, colonialism, gender and faith in a world cut through displacement and the quotidian challenges of day-to-day living. These memorably imagined women are imbued with a rich sense of cultural complexity, and Jiménez manages to capture a world-view rich with faith and magic, lending her work a deeply human force that is most compelling. Jiménez's comic sense and timing are achieved with incredible skill and sensitivity."-- Kwame Dawes, author of UnHistory with John Kinsella, "What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez, from the first pages, grips you like an excellent thriller and unfolds with surprising beauty. Claire Jimenez gives us religion, intergenerational trauma, reality TV, high school drama, and sisterly love. Every narrative turn and revelation provides a jolt. We're dealing with a writer deeply in touch with what us readers need. What a pleasure." -- Gabriel Bump, author of Everywhere You Don't Belong and it should go under Jaquira Diaz, "Crackling with life, wit, humor, pain and personality. Readers will be tugged by the hope and despair alongside these true-to-life characters. What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez offers observations about race, class, family and the fate of missing girls beyond its title character."-- Shelf Awareness, "Jiménez brilliantly explores the media's obsession with white women who go missing as opposed to women of color, the cycles of generational violence, and the beauty of a family coming together." -- Shondaland, "Jiménez unflinchingly--and sometimes hilariously--explores the complexity of family dynamics and the fierce love among mothers, sisters and daughters."-- People Magazine, "If true crime is your guilty pleasure, you absolutely must find out what happened to Ruthy Ramirez.... Compelling..."-- Associated Press, "I loved this book. Equal measures hilarious and haunting, What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez is about a family who must keep living in the face of sudden loss. The humor makes the pages glide, but there's true heartache at the center of this story, and I held my breath as I reached the end--full of such hope and fear for these women. Claire Jiménez is a stand out talent."-- Crystal Hana Kim, NBF 5 under 35 honoree of If You Leave Me, "Often funny, subversive, and an urgent exploration of family, grief, and womanhood, What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez reinforces Claire Jiménez as a writer for our times. With a meticulous eye that captures the occluded truths of the Ramirez women, Jiménez has written a beautiful triumph."-- Xavier Navarro Aquino, author of Velorio, "This is a great debut novel, told from the points of view of the different characters, with some fun LOL moments, and a mystery you get engaged in, and want to learn the outcome."-- Red Carpet Crash, "This novel paints a vivid family portrait and explores the familial bonds between women, colonialism and cycles of generational violence."-- The Story Exchange, "Claire Jiménez traces how a family copes years after a devastating tragedy. The result is a moving portrait of a fractured family - and the thrilling journey they take to find out what happened to Ruthy Ramirez."-- Time, "A funny and heartbreaking examination of sisterhood, generational trauma and the bonds that hold families together."-- Today.com
