She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1997, at a time in her life when she needed all her capacities to care for her children and achieve her life goals.It was not until Ruth's retirement that that multiple sclerosis exacted its greatest toll, slowly taking her balance and mobility. She continued blogging about the local history of her suburb, with two popular books emerging from her work: Hidden Hamilton: Uncovering stories of Hamilton, NSW and More Hidden Hamilton: Further stories of people, place and community. As Ruth's challenges mounted, she needed all the insights she'd gained when writing her first book, Reinventing Success: Find happiness, satisfaction and balance by managing change in your life. It explores how people cope when their lives change unexpectedly, forging new ways of thinking about what success means to them.Ruth has also drawn on her rural childhood, growing up on a sheep and cattle property in the north-west of New South Wales. There, she learned independence, resilience and how to ride a horse from a young age. On Wahroonga: An early settler family at Rocky Creek, NSW chronicles the story of her family which began with her grandfather, who risked everything to lead his young family into an unknown, risky future establishing a farming and grazing enterprise from untamed land.ver menos
