E. Ruth Smith
E. Ruth Smith was born in Pictou, Nova Scotia, brought up in Five Islands, the home of most of her ancestors, and today resides in Parrsboro. She worked as a medical laboratory technologist for more than forty years. She now helps seniors in various ways, primarily as a part-time caregiver, but spends her spare time digging both literally and figuratively: she is a passionate gardener and genealogy researcher. From Nova Scotia to North Africa is her first book.
