Citizen Ruth

Ruth Stoops is having a really lousy day. She’s kicked out of her boyfriend’s apartment, her brother won’t let her sleep in his garage, and to top it all off, she’s been arrested for inhaling toxic substances. And as if that weren’t enough, she’s pregnant again and facing criminal charges for endangering the foetus.
