Ruth has lived a remarkable life - it’s time everyone knew about it.' Carolinda Witt, award-winning author, ’Double Agent Celery MI5’s Crooked Hero.’'Ruth Wilson is a courageous, adventurous and very determined woman. Her fascinating story is unputdownable...' Amanda Hampson, Bestselling author of ’The Olive Sisters’'Conquering Clouds is an unputdownable memoir of a remarkable woman. This book has it all - from impoverished childhood, death-defying adventures, failed romances and international fame as a balloonist, Ruth proves she conquered far more than clouds.' - Libby Harkness ghostwriter of the best-selling memoir Turia Pitt’s ’Everything to Live For’.'A glorious story of passion and pain written with honest truth and a simple reality that invites us mere mortal readers to indulge in a life to share her pain and feel her elated freedom of her spirit as this passionate woman writes in her words and with her raw talent to achieve another milestone of her courage and fight for freedom from her demons...one of the greats in the history of this country...A triumph!'
