Her writing is characterised by its raw honesty and emotional depth, drawing readers into the nuanced worlds of her characters and the autobiographical elements she often weaves into her narratives.


Born and raised in a small town, Ruth faced significant challenges from an early age. Her life was profoundly shaped by her own experiences and the impact this had on her family life. These personal struggles became the foundation of her powerful storytelling, allowing her to address issues of marginalisation, identity, and resilience with a unique and authentic voice.


Ruth’s literary journey began as a means of processing her own experiences and finding solace in the written word. Over time, her passion for writing evolved into a tool for advocacy, giving voice to those who often feel unheard. Her debut novel, *Survival*, is an unflinching portrayal of a young disabled woman navigating the trials of living in a society that often misunderstands or overlooks such experiences.


In addition to her writing, Ruth is an active advocate for disability rights and mental health awareness. She has worked closely with various organisations to promote inclusivity and to challenge the stigma surrounding disability. Her work in this field has earned her recognition as a thought leader and a compassionate advocate who is unafraid to confront difficult truths.


Ruth Winters will inspire readers and activists alike with her dedication to telling stories that matter. Her work not only entertains but also educates and empowers, encouraging others to find strength in their own stories and to challenge societal norms. Whether through her books, essays, or public speaking, Ruth remains committed to making the world a more understanding and inclusive place.


Today, Ruth lives in the UK, where she continues to write and advocate for the causes close to her heart. She remains deeply connected to her readers, often engaging with them through social media, always with the same warmth and authenticity that define her work.

Success after Grooming: A Staggering story

You know that phrase 'undeserving victims'? Rubbish, if you ask me. It's akin to saying some poor souls actually deserve the misfortune they're dealt. As if it's their fault for not overcoming life's hurdles or shrugging off the daily dose of hatred they endure. Here's a shocking revelation: trauma survivors are far more likely to face abuse from people they know than from strangers. Most of these incidents occur in places like residential schools or care homes. The environment and culture in these institutions often shield abusers from scrutiny. When people dismiss bullying as 'boys being boys' or 'rough-housing' instead of calling it what it is—violence—they're essentially giving brutality the green light. Do you know who bears the brunt of this? Those who don't fit in. They become walking targets whilst everyone else either turns a blind eye or remains silent.   In the 1980s, we had vague notions of racism, sexism, homophobia, and ...

Survival: A Memoir

  SURVIVAL: A Groundbreaking Memoir “As I read it depression can be triggered, by lifestyle and circumstances, as equally as it can be a physical flaw. Nurture or nature?    If I had inherited a vulnerability, through repeated attacks my strength may also have been weakened by hate. While nurture can enhance well-being, so too can environments erode it.” A revolutionary memoir that gives voice to those who often go unheard in our society. This compelling work sheds light on the hidden experiences of disabled individuals, survivors of sexual abuse, and victims of domestic violence and hate crimes. Did you know that 10-25% of any given population comprises individuals with significant differences, impairments, or conditions? Or that many service users have experienced sexual or domestic abuse, yet professionals are rarely aware due to the private nature of these experiences? This memoir addresses the delicate balance between providing support and respecting privacy. It expl...
