The Rise of Ruth

The Legacy Series, Book 2

By: C. J. Wilson

Narrated by: Lynnda Nelson

The American Plan. Born from science yet shaped by defiance, Ruth Rossiter has always lived in the shadow of contradiction. As a child, she unravels the secrets of a family she never knew, one bound by power, divided by ideology, and haunted by a battle over the life-extending drug, Gnia-itra. With each revelation, her world expands, forcing her to reconcile the impossible: a mother who fought against the very science that made her existence possible and a father who defied fate to bring her into the world.

As she pieces together her origins, Ruth wrestles with the weight of two legacies, one of justice, one of privilege. However, in a society built on control and exclusion, knowledge is often perceived as a threat.

This second instalment of The Legacy Series follows Ruth’s transformation from a child caught between worlds to a young woman forging her own destiny. As she learns to navigate power, deception, and the ghosts of those who came before her, she unknowingly takes the first steps toward a future that will redefine the world, becoming a leader in the fight for change.
