Ruth by author H.B. Moore is a joy to read. I have read other books about women of the Bible by this author and I am never disappointed. The day to day decisions and choices for Naomi and her two daughters-in-law are carefully portrayed with sensitivity. Ruth gave up everything she knew when she married Mahlon, a man of the Hebrew faith living in the land of the Moabites. After the deaths of Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion Naomi has no choice but to return to her own country. Ruth is determined to accompany Naomi and help her during this relocation. Ruth feels her heart is bonded with Naomi and this leads her to a new start in a very different environment. I appreciate the carefully written fictional details in this book. There were certain protocols in place for widows, and Ruth had to be willing to accept the Hebrew law regarding her future. It is easy to believe the author's accounting for the interactions of Ruth with Boaz. A beautiful love story!
