For as long as her granddaughters can remember, Ruth Anderson was working on her book.
âMom would say, I donât know that sheâs ever gonna get her book done,â said granddaughter Elizabeth Spencer.
But at 88, Mrs. Anderson did. Her book,
Whistleblower and Double Agents, was âstraight out of a James Bond movie,â the
Citrus County Chroniclereported in 2017. âItâs chock-full of intrigue, suspense, romance and action. And it all rings true because many of the events actually happened during her days at the NRC.â
