A tale of growing up poor and struggling for dignity as seen through the eyes of one of her sons. The sometimes poignant, often humorous, but always grateful description of a mother's relentless struggle to keep her family together despite the challenges of poverty, crime, and the well-meaning social agencies that would have separated them. Nurtured by a bare-knuckled mother who used fear to keep them in line, Ruthie's Kids will be forever indebted to the woman who understood the meaning of \"tough love\" before it became a fashionable cliche. Thanks to her courage and commitment, 7 kids survived the urban jungle, ended the welfare dependency, and became productive citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940045422880,"sku":"NEW0595234410","price":17.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ruthies-kids-tough-love-from-a-tough-mom-0595234410","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
