Two women. All alone. With no provisions. Can they 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 late 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. But God has great plans for her. While everyone considers Ruth an unworthy outsider, she 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?

Seriously, one of Tessa’s BEST stories! Didn’t have to wait for the last chapter for the girl to get the guy. So tired of those same ol’ stories. This book was captivating and uplifting!

I think this is one of Tessa’s BEST stories!

Seeing the possible story of Ruth in such details was thought provoking and gave a deeper insight on what the characters were experiencing as they journeyed through life. The reader could identify with each character’s life, feelings, and beliefs yet at the same time came to the conclusion that faith and trust in God was essential.

Tessa really helps connect us with the Bible characters, even though it’s a fictional account. I really enjoyed this book.

Tessa has a beautiful way with words and making Bible stories come to life. It’s a book that was hard to put down. Ruth is one of my favorite books in the Bible.

Didn't care for the reader's voice. The 's' was not smooth. I listened because I had already used the credit.

I appreciated all the cultural and historical context of this book. The story of Ruth and Boaz is incredible by itself, but to flesh out the story with more historical details set the story into focus and made it even more incredible. I don’t mean the literary license the author took (though that was masterful) but the details about Moab culture, Jewish law, the food they would’ve eaten, and even how harvesting would have played out in a daily fashion. Well done!

How much historical context it gave to a familiar story
