Synopsis

In the ancient hills of Moab, Ruth witnesses the brutal reality of sacrificial worship. Shocked and disillusioned, she renounces the gods she once held sacred, seeing them now as instruments for power and control rather than sources of spiritual guidance.Nearby, Ruth's closest friend, Orpah, lives trapped under the heavy hand of her mother and struggles with a profound sense of worthlessness. Each day is a battle against the crushing weight of expectations and neglect, her spirit teetering on the brink of despair.Across the Jordan River, Naomi wrestles with the silence of the heavens as her family is uprooted from Bethlehem to settle in Moab—a nation she despises. Amidst the turmoil of their move, Naomi grapples with her faith and the memories of a life left behind.In Bethlehem, Boaz's growing prosperity sparks fear among the self-appointed leaders. Despite his father's Hebrew lineage, his mother's tainted reputation as a pagan from Jericho casts a shadow over his loyalty to Israel.As their paths converge, the fate of a nation will be altered forever.Hills of Moab is a biblical fiction novel, highlighting the enduring power of faith, kindness, and love in the face of discrimination and persecution.

Goodreads review by Sara on October 14, 2024

I've read a lot of fictional pieces regarding the story of Ruth, and this is the first I've read that actually focuses on Ruth rather than Boaz, usually portrayed as the ultimate goal and prize of her story.
