Bookroo's summary

Eleven-year-old Lucy, a tomboy questioning everything after a family tragedy, meets Inez, a determined housekeeper, and her girly granddaughter, Mora. As Lucy navigates her new life, Inez introduces the story of Ruth and Naomi, challenging Lucy and Mora to find common ground. Can these opposites learn from each other and discover the paths they are meant to take? With Bible study and unexpected lessons, Lucy's journey to understanding and acceptance unfolds in surprising ways.

From the publisher

Lucy is a feisty, precocious tomboy who questions everything–including God. Understandably, especially after an accident killed her mother, blinded her father, and turned her life upside down. It will take a strong but gentle housekeeper–who insists on Bible study along with homework–to show Lucy that there are many ways to become the woman God intends her to be. Lucy’s bossy, career-minded Aunt Karen thinks eleven-year-old Lucy needs a woman’s influence. Enter Inez–a housekeeper with a will as strong as Lucy’s–and her granddaughter Mora, a girly-girl who is Lucy’s polar opposite. Will the girls ever find common ground? Inez just might have the answers when she teaches them the story of Ruth and Naomi.
