Samaria. 425 B.C. When Ezra the scribe taught that the Jewish men should divorce their foreign wives and children, Ruth's father was one who followed Ezra's counsel.

It spans the past one hundred and fifty years—from the Babylonian captivity until Ruth's own day. Will she find in the ancient record the understanding, faith and strength she needs now to heal and live in hope?
