Ruth Ksycki was a young girl when she saw something that would change her life forever. She saw the sun rise slowly, brilliantly, silently. She saw its golden rays bloom atop the treeline near the cabin where her family slept, and shimmer languidly upon the calm waters of the lake below.

"After that morning I was always looking for something else," she says. "I had a hunger." Read what happened to that young girl!
