What makes someone family-blood, love, or something more?
Arielle believed she was an Israelite-until her brother confessed the truth: she was found as an infant on their doorstep in Moab. After tragedy strikes and the men of her household are snatched away, Arielle must leave the only land she's ever known and any hope of finding her birth family to follow her adopted mother family to Bethlehem.
But Bethlehem is not the land of plenty described in the stories of God's promises once told to Arielle by her beloved adopted father. Treated as outsiders, they must scrape together a life among people who barely tolerate them. The God of Israel is said to protect the orphan and the widow-but what happens when His people reject His laws?
As Arielle wrestles with loss, identity, and the silence of a God she's unsure how to trust, one question haunts her: if her own birth parents abandoned her, why wouldn't a foreign God do the same?
To belong, Arielle must choose where her loyalty lies-between the past that shaped her and the God who might have a purpose for her future.
Abandoned. Unseen. Not forgotten.

I love the story of Ruth and really enjoyed reading this novel. Very interesting and challenging to consider what life and faith looked like in Moab and Israel at that time and what a difference it makes belonging to the true God.

Best yet!
I think this is the best yet in the series. A very natural narrative style, wrapped around known history and characters, with many opportunities to sit and ponder on the topic or theme raised in the story. This will suit those who like a good storyline and character development, as well as those who want to learn through what they read. Well done Christine Dillon. :-)
