Ruby Lucas was born with a profound case of bipolar disorder. She has seen it all and done it all. Ruby battled major manic depression as a teenager, and her illness took flight for the first time as she spiraled into psychosis while she was living in a foreign country. Once she made it back to America, things only got worse. Without the proper healthcare, Ruby was ushered into a second psychotic break that everyone was convinced she would not survive.

In an act of bravery, Ruby chooses to speak candidly about her life in order for people to truly understand what mental illness is. She also hopes to heal the hardest part of living with bipolar disorder: loneliness. In I Will Fly, Ruby lights a torch to pass on to others suffering from mental illness in an effort to build camaraderie and reach those who feel completely detached in a world of healthy, successful people.
