Helpful Score: 3

I was totally surprised by what a fun read this book is. I love her writing style...oh, and there are some recipes included - but you don't have to be a 'foodie' to enjoy this book. I think the completely different life Ruth led resulted from having a mom who was mentally ill, but in denial and untreated. Imagine being sent to another country, to a boarding school where you don't speak one word of their language, or having a mom so odd that you are afraid to bring friends home mostly for fear her cooking might kill them or make them sick.
