Ruth opens up about her childhood in Edmonton, the days spent her room reading and writing, the overnight success that threw her into the music industry at 21, and the Book That Changed Her Life: The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. Ruth and Chris explore what it means to love something you can't own, how a fleeting connection can matter as much as a permanent one, the grief at the story's center, and how a quiet little book became the &quot;slow down button&quot; she needed during an overwhelming chapter of her career \u2014 even shaping her album Moments in Between. Stay tuned for Ruth's NEW album, Peace to Make, out soon! #booksthatchangedmylife #books #library #bookrecs #bookreport #interview #podcast #chrisbulldogcollins \ud83d\udea8 Grab the coolest book &amp;amp; library tees, socks, hoodies &amp;amp; more! https:\/\/booksthatchangedmylife.org\/collections\/all ","author_name":"Books That Changed My Life","author_url":"https:\/\/www.booksthatchangedmylife.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/41727435\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/203236300"}
