This autobiography is a reminder that there is no set script to life. At twenty, Ruth left home for Florida with the man she loved, and they experienced rough seas on a failed fishing trip to Cuba. The affair was short lived, producing a son. Despite a failed ensuing marriage, Ruth continued her journey that led her to work as a secretary in the Miami boating industry, and eventually to managing a gun shop in North Carolina! Late in life, Ruth survived end-stage renal failure, and prioritized travel to meet family. Ruth's life reminds us that life is filled with excitement, triumph, and speedbumps. So, get ready to turn these pages and enjoy the ride!
