About this ebook
For Las Vegas widow Naomi, memories of a Pennsylvania Dutch childhood are an ache from the distant past, a painful memory of abandoned roots and lost connections. She has long since reconciled herself to the shattered dreams that had enticed her from her heritage and now simply lives in a tiny apartment, thick with loneliness and regret. Her sole consolation is her daughter-in-law Ruth.
But when hard living claims both of her boys, the two women turn Naomi's creaky Impala eastward in a desperate, last-chance bid for hope and meaning. Thus begins a cross-country odyssey that brings her home to her old farm in Lancaster County--and to the values and rhythms of a life once spurned. Although the East is foreign territory, Ruth also finds a home here among the slow and authentic cadences of Pennsylvania farm country. And she finds love...

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5modern re-telling of the Biblical story of Ruth that has its moments when it absolutely works and its moments when you feel like the authors are trying too hard. It does have some slow spots, but the timeless story of redemption is well done. It did make me yearn for the orignal story in the Bible, which I went back and read.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I am reading this book for my mother's book club, and quite honestly, struggling to get through it. I love my mother though, so I keep turning pages.
