In all of her biblical retellings, this author condenses details while preserving the stories’ spirit and meaning.
This one exemplifies chesed (lovingkindness), shown by Ruth and Naomi’s caring for one another and by the
kindness extended to them by Boaz. (

It's about a family, and when the son dies, the daughter-in-law (Ruth) moves back to Naomi's homeland. They find Naomi's house destroyed! But then Ruth falls in love with Boaz and lives happily ever after. (
