When Naomi's two sons die and leave her with two childless Moabite daughters-in-law, it appears that a life of hardship and poverty await the three women. Deciding to return to her homeland in Judea, Naomi is accompanied by Ruth, the daughter-in-law who chose not to go back to her family. When Ruth meets Boaz, this may be the opportunity that God has given to ensure a better life for both women. Smith's fresh retelling of the story of Ruth and Naomi portrays these strong biblical women in a thoughtful and reflective manner. Her impeccable research and richly detailed setting give readers a strong sense of life in ancient Israel.
VERDICT Admirers of biblical historical fiction will love this uplifting third series outing (after The Crimson Cord and The Prophetess).
