THE BLURB:  

Destitute, grief-stricken, and unwanted by the people of God, Ruth arrives in Israel with nothing to recommend her but Naomi’s, love. Her loftiest hope is to provide enough food to save Naomi and herself from starvation. But God has other plans for her life.

While everyone considers Ruth an outcast, she is astounded to find one of the most honored men of Judah showing her favor.  Long since a widower and determined to stay that way, Boaz is irresistibly drawn to the foreign woman with the haunted eyes. He tells himself he is only being kind to his Cousin Naomi’s chosen daughter when he goes out of his way to protect her from

harm, but his heart knows better.

Based on the biblical account of Ruth, In the Field of Grace is the story of a love that

ultimately changes the course of Israel’s destiny and the future of the whole world.

 

THE FIRST LINE:

Death squatted at Boaz’s door, waiting like a vulture, biding its time. He could sense its presence—inexorable, hungry, patient.

 

MY THOUGHTS:  

I’ve read three of Ms. Afshar’s other books, and have just started her new one. She instantly became a favorite author (of my favorite genre no less) with her thorough understanding of culture and her exceptional story telling ability.

 

GENRE:

Biblical Fiction
