2014 Winner: A Leap of Words (The Ruby Collection). A Leap of Words (The Ruby Collection). When your beloved is in the throes of a serious illness you want to do everything in your power to maintain the same routines that have comforted him throughout his years as an obsessive-compulsive. But when you and he come from two different religious traditions, a new ritual with bedtime prayers creates a moral dilemma. This is a story about how it’s possible for someone who never liked change to find solace in the soothing rhythm of words he can’t understand.
