Finding Ruth: A Daughter's Quest to Discover Her Mother's Past

A WRITER TURNS DETECTIVE TO LEARN WHAT HER MOTHER'S LIFE HAD BEEN LIKE BEFORE ALZHEIMER'S STOLE HER MEMORIES. A TRUE STORY OF FORGIVENESS AND HEALING.

As fiercely independent Ruth struggles to stay self-reliant at the age of 86, each day brings her closer to an event that will alter her life forever. While her author daughter shifts through Ruthâ€™s possessions prior to her move into a skilled nursing facility, she discovers a previously unseen photo from 1949 and realizes how little she knows of her motherâ€™s life.

As Alzheimerâ€™s continues to warp Ruthâ€™s once sharp mind, she can no longer shed any light on the past. Yearning to know who her mother was as a person in her own right, the author painstakingly reconstructs Ruthâ€™s life from photos, letters, public records and firsthand memories.

What emerges is a portrait of a bright, beautiful woman who is propelled through decades of broken promises and heartache, bouncing from one ill-fated relationship to the next, but always staying strong, always surviving. Through a timeline going back sixty years, the author gleans a much better understanding of the woman she had known only as Mom.
