Hailed by The Boston Globe as “a gem,” The Ruby Sunrise begins when a 1920s tomboy feverishly functions to develop her latest invention – something called “television.” Twenty-five years afterwards, her daughter will minimize at nothing to create her mother’s incredible story alive during TV’s Golden Age. But will it get the reality it deserves? “A finely tuned family portrait of television’s start. [Groff] has managed to skillfully blend past and present.” (Providence Journal)
