Excerpt from New Lives for Old
Ruth's folks, too, had all been farmers. She herself was born and bred on a farm and I think it was that which gave her such good health and good courage. Though in the years of our struggle in the city I never heard her complain, I knew that always in her heart she had a great yearning for the fields and open sky. She never spoke of this, but sometimes Ruth says a great deal when she doesn't speak. I know when I first told her of my plan she had to Swallow hard to keep from crying.
One thing alone disturbed Ruth and that was the thought that with success we were running away from our new-found friends.
