The author of eleven books, Ruthie grew up on a 17-acre fruit farm in eastern Oregon, and to this day, almost nothing beats the excitement of buying Bing cherries at a roadside fruit stand. She's also known throughout her adopted hometown of Hiawassee, Georgia, for her knock-'em-dead brownies . . . and for tasting food off of strangers' plates. She holds a BS/RN in Nursing from Walla Walla University, and a Masters in Education. She has travelled extensively, speaking with high school and college students about character development and taking them on trips around the world, to places like Fiji, England, India, Poland, Iceland, Guyana and across North America. The kids affectionately call her "Auntie Ruthie." For six years she hosted a weekly television program on Sky Angel Network, has written numerous articles for nursing journals, and contributed to the book Medication Errors. She is a member of the National Prayer Committee, as well as the Executive Committee of the Denominational Prayer Leaders' Network.
