Ruth Mwongeli David was born and raised in Machakos, a charming town surrounded by undulating hills situated South East of Nairobi, Kenya. She enjoys writing inspiring fiction about family, love, and relationships. She hopes that her debut novel 'Courage to Love' inspired by her experience of two violent relationships and her battle with nicotine dependence will touch someone's life and create awareness about domestic violence and addiction. When she is not working or writing, you can find her reading, listening to music, or cooking for her family. Ruth lives in Nairobi, Kenya with her husband and her daughter.
