A modern midrash for teenage girls
Set in the fortified city of Bethlehem and the mountainous towns
of Moab, this young adult novel imagines the life of the biblical

struggles as a woman of low rank in the ancient world; and Ruth's
and Naomi's perseverance, both individually and together. Filled
with adventure and romance, this modern midrash is a story of
personal growth, female friendship, and the power of inner
strength.
