Suggested that you read Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson! I was guessing that Ruth was taken off to a faraway town in the middle of the ocean and... Well... Forced to do whatever slaves do. Well, something along those lines. The point I that Ruth is in need of help. Small and helpless little girl she was. Where is Isabel (formerly Sal Lockton) when she is needed? Just remember, nothing other than my idea about Ruth was mine. All rights go to Laurie.

A young boy who has to come up with the courage to tell his family he's gay, but then stands up and protest for his rights as a young homosexual to people and his family. But things doesn't seem right when he expresses his feelings.
