The Ruby Sunrise

Hailed by The Boston Globe as "a gem," The Ruby Sunrise begins when a 1920s tomboy feverishly works to develop her latest invention—a little something called "television." Twenty-five years later, her daughter will stop at nothing to bring her mother's incredible story to life during TV's Golden Age. But will it get the truth it deserves? "A finely tuned portrait of television's early days. [Groff] has managed to skillfully blend past and present." — Providence Journal
