Kaye,

A book that I thought might be appropriate for you was the Visual 
Quickstart Guide series, called "Ruby, Learn Ruby the Quick and Easy 
Way", by Larry Ullman.

It seems good on explaining the language, but it lacks much more than 
trivial examples, with few exceptions.

You can buy it used on Amazon, pretty cheaply.

Hope this helps.
Steve.
