Going Off Script

Ruth is a Ghanian by birth. She was born into a poor home in the city of Accra, Ghana. Ruth has two loving parents who toiled to make ends meet on meager wages and small profits from menial labor. Little Ruth back then would have never imagined that her life would peak thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean, in a faraway land she had never known.  Ruth is a mother to two beautiful girls and the wife of a loving, supportive man. This is her first book about the wholesome picture her life has turned into. It details her journey behind her stardom, and the personality behind the limelight.  Ruth and her family represent something important to her audience; they represent love, caring, acceptance and peace. In other words, they represent home to millions of viewers on social media. Ruth and her family allow strangers to share in simple but meaningful videos about their lives. They are truthful and straightforward. These videos are reflective of what a 'life less scripted' is; opposed to the polished, sugarcoated, and relatively 'perfect' relationships that social media is inundated with. Ruth and her family try to live the ideal family life, yet are not afraid to show the negatives that often accompany the reality of family life.
