(W) Meredith Finch (A/CA) Colin Dyer Widowed as a young woman, Ruth makes the choice to leave behind everything she knows and follow her bereaved mother-in-law to Bethlehem, Texas. While Naomi rails against God for his seeming abandonment of her family, Ruth holds only a quiet, and sincere faith that God, who she has come to know and love, has a plan. It is her courage and unwaivering faith that shine like a beacon for all who feel lost, especially a retired soldier turned farmer named Boaz.
