On July 6th in a formal ceremony at the Presidential Palace, Ruta was 'Knighted' by the President of Lithuania in recognition for her contributions to education and culture. Ruta credits SCBWI for her path to publication. Ruta's new novel, Out of the Easy, was just released and is also a New York Times bestseller. Out of the Easy is set in the French Quarter of New Orleans in 1950 and explores the historical struggles of identity and personal freedom.
