She also wrote WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKTHROUGH, an adult novel, and three highly acclaimed young-adult novels, DON'T THINK TWICE, CONDITIONS OF LOVE, and BOTH SIDES NOW. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Texas Monthly, The Dallas Morning News, Texas Observer, Parents, Redbook, McCall's, Cooking Light, and other nationwide publications. Ruth lives in Austin, with her mad-scientist husband. Her hobbies are reading, yoga, social criticism, and free-form worrying. A card-carrying member of the Chickasaw Nation, Ruth was born in Ponca City, Oklahoma, close to a refinery. She holds a bachelor's degree in comparative literature from Eckerd College and, for reasons that now elude her, a J.D. with honors from the University of Texas School of Law. Ruth also blogs at http://lovecocoxo.com/ -- a series of letters to her new granddaughter, Ellie, about life, womanhood, and not taking yourself too seriously. Her website is at ruthpennebaker.com.
