Description
Meet Ruth Stoops. She's homeless, dumb as a cinder block, and loves to huff spray paint. Life would be dandy if it weren't for one problem - she's gotten herself knocked up for the umpteenth time, and everybody's got an opinion about it - from an angry judge to God-fearing Baby-Savers to radical lesbian feminists. A hilarious, provocative look at what happens when sperm meets egg and sparks fly.
