Genna Sapia-Ruffin

Genna Sapia-Ruffin is a baby boomer who was born and educated in Baltimore. In 1964, she met David Ruffin of The Temptations in nearby Annapolis. That was the day that she came face-to-face with her destiny. In a few months and at his urging, she moved to his town of Detroit to be with him. A couple of years later, they became the parents of David's only son. Thus, although it was in Maryland that she was born and educated, it was in Detroit that she was raised and schooled. Her abusive and confusing childhood had been far from idyllic, but was a mere glimmer of what lay ahead in Michigan.

Having kept a diary for years--and no longer able to resist the drive to do so--she began the painstaking job of gathering, organizing and chronicling the scribbled notes of her chaotic life. In 2002, her book entitled "A Memoir: David Ruffin--My Temptation" was ultimately published. Now with the discovery of important information about David's childhood--and with the salvation of her soul through Christ--she is inspired to complete that story here in "Delivered From Temptation".

She now aspires to a career in speaking with the hope of inspiring and encouraging people who find themselves dealing with some situations she too has faced--and survived to tell. This is where her passion lies and her attention is focused. Even as a new Christian, she believes that this is what she was born to do. She'd like to speak in prisons, churches and schools in hopes of saving someone from the destruction that ignorance in parenting and drug use--and everything of self (self-rule)--inevitably brings.

In 1992, a year after David's death, she once more moved away from Detroit and now enjoys a warmer and more peaceful environment where she writes and spends time learning more about Jesus and The Bible. www.gennaruffin.com
