RUTH PERKINSON

"The novel's backbone is one of social consciousness - demonstrating how narrow-mindedness can drive wedges between families and communities - but the flesh of the story is one of personal consciousness...anyone who has ever felt resigned to a life of compromise and futility should read this book. It will help you find your dancing legs again."

- Terri Jones, V Magazine for Women

About the Author
Ruth.
After teaching English in the Virginia public school system for nearly ten years, Ruth Perkinson is branching out with her message of equality, especially for young adults. Through her book writing and advocacy efforts, she is trying to raise the awareness and consciousness of people everywhere. One of her main issues is the belief that the teaching of GLBT sex education in the public classroom’s time has come.

Ruth and Sandy
Perkinson says, “Localities and local school boards need to recognize the urgent need to teach this subject as it will help end bullying, help end stereotypes, and help give young GLBT youth a chance to have a voice and be recognized.”

A native of Richmond, Virginia, Perkinson lives in the heart of the city where she writes and advocates full time.
