Autorenporträt

Although she was born in Manila, Ruth Baja Williams never lived in the Philippines. Leaving the land of her birth at age two, she was in California at the start of the Second World War. At the war's end, her father entered the Philippine Foreign Service. Now as the daughter of a Philippine diplomat, Ruth lived in Hong Kong, Djakarta, and Sydney. Undergraduate studies brought her to California, but Cupid lured her to Germany, where she spent twenty years. On returning to the United States, she realized she belonged everywhere and nowhere.
