Ruth Morris' love of words has been passed down from generations of story tellers. She began to write in her early adolescence, using words as therapy through her tumultuous life. Despite suffering from grief, abuse, physical and mental illness, Ruth has been able to draw upon her poetry as a life line and link to others who have traveled the same path. Her hope is that those who read her poetry understand that they are not alone in their suffering and that no matter the obstacles, love and hope can prevail.
