To belong is a verb that Ruth has barely ever experienced. Her parents gave her up, only nine years old. And as any nine-year-old would've done - she waited for them to come pick her up. She became a part of the fostering system. Jumping from state to state, and after two years Ruth realised that it wasn't going to happen.
Living in New York City for the second time, 14 years old, in a home with a foster family who barely cared, only using her. The bruises on her body just added by each day that passed. The thoughts in her head making her do stuff Ruth couldn't control.
Not allowed to bloom, a creative flower inside the seed.
One day she fell - at the worst time.
In front of Lin Manuel Miranda.
Watch her go from Ruth - to Rue, a whole new girl.
