thank you to my friend Jan, who passed this on when she heard I was planning a trip to NZ.  We have discussed how boring our lives must look, in comparison to Ruth's.  Ruth has endured so many tragedies and disappointments, but kept bouncing back.  I would love to meet her one day, but sadly our trip is during winter, when Ruth's book shops are closed.

Ruth, the author, has lived a very full life and as such, as experienced a great deal, including many horrible circumstances. They are generally handled with grace, but look up the CW before you begin.
