The Book of Ruth by Jane Hamilton

5.0

Oh my. What a ride. Not the type of book I normally read but honestly sometimes it’s good to step out of my comfort zone. I was definitely not expecting the intensity of this story and how much I would empathize with the character. I had a weight in my chest every time I would read a few chapters because I just felt so bad for the character and also frustrated by the fact that she could not get out of that horrible situation. This is what happens to people who are not truly loved. They don’t know what they are missing. Go and love your neighbor. You just might change someone’s future.
