This is a story of Ruth's life from a West Virginia childhood through three marriages that include divorce, death, and a new love in her later years. In a life of adventure, she experiences Chicago society and the mountains of Telluride before returning to her West Virginia roots. With photos.
Gliding gracefully down a slope, feeling the cool breeze in her face and in perfect balance with nature, when all of a sudden, she hits an uneven patch of snow, causing her to fall. It is a struggle to untangle herself to get up. The snow has dampened her spirit and she is cold. Is she ready to face the challenge again? Can she let herself go? The slope is daunting. Will it be worth the effort? Then she remembers what it felt like to leave the security of the top of the mountain and let the speed take her back to a slope of freedom, a motion in rhythm, ecstasy.
