A Lost and Found Gem

"A Lost and Found Gem" is the true story of Ruby Marie Farris. From out of the blue, one day in January of 1991, schizophrenic, Ruby Marie Farris hitch hiked from Ventura, California to Portland, Oregon in the fog and rain and vanished, devastating her family of thirty-five years. "A Lost and Found Gem" chronicles Ruby's eight yearlong journey into a frightening world of obscure mental illness laced with homelessness, breast cancer, blindness, and a life threatening lymphoma. After eight, dark, grueling, and discombobulated years she is finally found through Missing Persons and brought home to safety by her daughter, actress, singer, and writer, Marneen Fields.
