Ruthie Has a New Love - Paperback

by Anne Wilensky (Author)

Ruthie and Anne met at a women's liberation meeting back in the '60s in NYC. They were young wild (pot smoking, boy crazy) hippie chicks, out for adventure. They stayed best friends, altho Anne left the East Village (suddenly) in '92 (moved to Tucson AZ with her husband Bill and their dog). 8 years later Ruthie left NYC with her young son and moved to San Diego. (No one leaves NYC in middle of night to move across country unless their life collapses, Anne and Ruthie are part of a wave). Novel takes place during November 2008. Ruthie calls Anne up to say she met someone. It was the last thing she expected to happen, she had not been looking for a boyfriend and wasn't even sure she wanted one. Both girls tune into their Higher Self and Ruthie tells Anne everything her Higher Self says. Also Anne's life in Tucson. She swims at public pool, posts on news forum. It's an innocent happy carefree book because the light at the end of the tunnel is so much brighter.
