She attended high school in Ellsworth and then left Maine to attend college in New York. She later worked in both New York and California as a teacher, secretary and associate editor of Reader’s Digest. When Ruth returned to Maine, her novel ’Spoonhandle’ was being made into a move, ’Deepwaters’ by Twentieth Century Fox. For many years now she has lived in a house she built on Mt. Desert Island, producing some of the best novels ever written of the people of coastal Maine. Her published words include a dozen historical and contemporary novels, a novel for children and a book of poetry, as well as this collection of ballads.”
