About this item

Everyone knows Dr. Ruth as the most famous and trusted sex therapist, but few people know she narrowly escaped death from the Holocaust, was raised in an orphanage in Switzerland, or that she was a sniper during Israel s War of Independence. After years spent as a student in Paris, Dr. Ruth came to America dreaming of a new life, though never expecting the dramatic turns that would take place. And at the age of eighty-seven, she is as spirited as ever."
