    About this ebook

    After surviving a very abusive childhood, Ruby Walters got herself educated, fell in love with a law student, helped put him through law school, then married him. He eventually became an Attorney General. They lived a prosperous life, lacking nothing, but Ruby wasn't happy. She had a need to help people. She joined the Peace Corps, but then realized the people weren't really being helped. They were completely ignored by their governments. She decides to try to help, so she foments a revolution in Honduras. She is shot in the eye by the CIA, but, though badly injured, she doesn't die. She is spirited out of Honduras, returned to the U.S., and after extensive medical attention, she gradually recovers. She moves to Reno, NV to live with her niece. She doesn't return to her husband, who continues to shower her with money and cars. He doesn't understand why she stopped loving him. She dies in a local hospital, with her niece holding her hand.
