Two women. Alone. With no provision. Can a woman who has lost
everything, except her beloved mother, find hope in a foreign
land?
Ruth leaves her home with a barren womb and an empty future,
after losing her husband. She forsakes her abusive parents and
follows the woman she has grown to love as a true parent, her
husband's mother, Naomi.
Ruth arrives in Israel with nothing to recommend her but
Naomi's, love. She is destitute, grief-stricken, and unwanted by
the people of God. Her loftiest hope is to provide enough food to
save Naomi and herself from starvation. She is reduced to gathering
leftovers once the harvesters have finished collecting grain from
the field. A job only for the lowest of the low.
But God has other plans for her life.
While everyone considers Ruth an unworthy outsider, Ruth is
shocked to find the owner of the field-one of the wealthiest and
most honored men of Judah-is showing her favor. Long since a
widower and determined to stay that way, Boaz finds himself
irresistibly drawn to the foreign woman with the dark, haunted
eyes. He tells himself he is only being kind to his Cousin Naomi's
chosen daughter when he goes out of his way to protect her from
harm, but his heart knows better.
Obstacles. Heartache. Withered dreams. How can God forge love,
passion, and new hope between two such different people?
