The task of editing and annotating a nineteenth-century diary
seemed straightforward at first, but as Robert Root assembled
scattered fragments of lost history and immersed himself in
background research, he became enmeshed in unexpected ways. When
doubts arose about who really wrote the journal, Root found himself
plunged into a mystery of lost identity, drawn ever deeper into the
drama and complexity of forgotten lives and engaged in a quest at
times both compulsive and quixotic. Part memoir, part meditation on
the nature of biography, "Recovering Ruth" is the absorbing story
of recovering a hidden past--and of learning firsthand the
complications of intimacy that develop between a biographer and his
subject.
