In 1937, a young college woman, Ruth Baumgardner, says good night to her friends and heads to her dorm room. That’s the last anyone sees of her. The next day her friend finds Ruth’s car key on the dorm building staircase, but Ruth is nowhere to be found.

The week we are joined by guest reader Mallory Kennedy. Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Mallory is a producer, writer, and the President of Margrette Bird Pictures, an independent film company. She is known for her work on the award-winning Price Is Right documentary, ‘Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much.’ 

She is also the author of Outslutted, Nutritional Exorcism, and the Energetic Athletics book series. Much of Mallory’s work focuses on developing your own brand of femininity, while finding the path to energetic heath, and wellness.
