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
Naomi and her deep friendship with her daughter-in-law Ruth. It
traces Naomi's suffering at the hands of warring tribes; her
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.
