What is Helen\u2019s story?<\/h2>\n

Ruby\u2019s estrangement from her parents was thought to be due to their disapproval over her relationship with Caleb.<\/p>\n

So, Helen was really snobby and judgemental. Helen and Ruby\u2019s dad gave Ruby an ultimatum. They basically said \u2018look if you want to be with this boy then we don\u2019t want anything to do with you\u2019. They basically just cut Ruby dead.\u201d<\/p>
