Ruth Perkinson has a degree in English Education from Virginia Commonwealth University and taught both English and Creative Writing in Richmond, Virginia for many years. She is a student of A Course in Miracles and meets with her study group each Monday night at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Glen Allen. Through her life experiences as a teacher, a spiritual seeker (and finder), and an advocate for the underdog, Perkinson has written six books: five novels and one non-fiction book. The latest is a book on spirituality called Spirit Home. When she isn’t working part-time at St. Thomas’ Church, she is writing, dog walking or meditating on thoughts that inspire her. One dream is getting a movie made about her second book, Piper’s Someday. The story about a young girl, a dog, and the journey of a lifetime.

It is MUCH easier this way;)
