Everyone knows Dr. Ruth as the most famous and trusted sex therapist, but few people know she narrowly escaped death from the Holocaust, was raised in an orphanage in Switzerland, or that she was a sniper during Israel's War of Independence. After years spent as a student in Paris, Dr. Ruth came to America dreaming of a new life though never expecting the dramatic turns that would take place. And at the age of 87, she is as spirited as ever. In the intimate and funny stories in her new memoir The Doctor Is In: Dr. Ruth on Love, Life, and Joie de Vivre, shows readers how they too can learn to deal with tragedy and loss, challenges and success, all while nourishing an intellectual and emotional spark. “Her warmth, wit, and wisdom shine through this lively account of a life well-lived,” our reviewer writes. “A joy for her many fans, old and new.”
