About the Author
Ruth Cohen was born in a small country called Tunisia situated in North Africa. Her journey took her to France, Israel and the United States. She lived in four different continents and she still calls herself a child of exile with its bonuses and its confusions. Since she was four years old her greatest interest was to study and in spite of great difficulties mostly caused by my underneath illness she made it; She became a Math teacher with two degrees; the first one from in Jerusalem-Israel and the second one when she studied in spite and during illness in the U.S.A.
When she turned twenty-nine, she gave birth to her first boy, and in the midst of her ignorance and unawareness she fell into a major depression that was going to change the course of her life. She would be sick of mostly major depressions, but also of hypomania and mania; a load hard to carry and even harder after she understood she had a mental illness coming from her mother and her paternal generations. She vowed to free herself from this malediction against all odds. Today she live free of all symptoms thanks to medicine, psychotherapy and to her personality with its will, strength and courage. She never gave up! While at the period of hypomania she made many discoveries about herself as she was in touch with her soul; one of them was a love for writing; without knowing she will ever publish a book, she wrote a novel with her true feelings and events of the moment and of her life. As she read and re-read her autobiography, she hopes today it will be a model and a drive to the many people she sympathizes with and feels being one, of them.
