Ruth's Garden

By Christina Lorenzen

Description:

Ruth Baker has lost her husband, her job and her home. Unsure of what to do with her life next, she responds to her grandmother’s call for help as the ninety-year-old woman waits for a room in a assisted living facility. Though she’s still healing from huge changes in her own life, and torn about leaving her home, she travels to the shores of Long Island to help her grandmother prepare for a big change in her life. Though she has no idea what the future will bring, she hangs on to her faith that God will answer her prayers.

Eli Hamill has been feeling the pull to put down roots. After buying and selling houses in the blink of an eye, his latest project, elderly Eleanora Duncan’s beachside home, has him doing something he’s never done before – live in the house until he has made the sale. From the moment he laid eyes on it, he knew the house was a gem. Although living in one of his sale properties doesn’t follow his usual protocol, it seems like nothing about this deal has. And the last thing he had planned on was getting involved with the seller’s granddaughter, Ruth Baker. Or her adorable six-year-old daughter, Mara.

Can an old house filled with loving memories and a sweet little girl show two lonely people what the future can hold?

Book Takeaway:

Keep your faith in God and He will provide what you need.

Why the author wrote this book:

One of my favorite books of the Bible is the story of Ruth. I have always found strength and encouragement by reading it and have read it dozens of times. This story is a modern take on the book of Ruth.
