Produktbeschreibung

In the ancient hills of Moab, where blood stains the altars and gods demand the unthinkable, a young woman begins to question everything she was taught to believe. Ruth, once devout, now sees the rituals of her people for what they are-tools of manipulation cloaked in divinity. Her soul, once tethered to tradition, begins to break free. But freedom has a price, and walking away from the gods of Moab may cost her more than just her faith-it may cost her her future.

Close by, Orpah, Ruth's childhood friend, remains shackled to a life of quiet despair. Ruled by a cruel and bitter mother, Orpah has learned to stay silent, small, and unseen. Her days blur under the weight of expectations, guilt, and emotional abuse-until Ruth's defiance plants a dangerous seed of hope in her heart.

Across the Jordan, in the hills of Bethlehem, Naomi endures her own crisis. Forced to leave her homeland during a famine, she follows her husband to Moab-a land she views with disdain and spiritual unease. As she tries to anchor her family in foreign soil, Naomi finds herself adrift, struggling with the silence of a God she no longer feels.

Meanwhile, Boaz, a rising figure in Bethlehem's fields, finds himself caught between two legacies. His father's Hebrew blood runs strong in his veins, but his mother-a Canaanite from Jericho-is a stain the elders won't let him forget. As his wealth grows, so does the resentment of those who see him as a threat to tradition.

As these four lives move toward one another-across borders, through heartache, and against the pull of old loyalties-they will find that love, courage, and kindness are stronger than the divisions forged by culture and creed.

Hills of Moab is a sweeping retelling of the story of Ruth, breathing new life into one of the Bible's most enduring tales. Through bold reimagining and emotional depth, this novel explores what it means to defy expectation, reclaim faith, and discover that family isn't always bound by blood.
