In the style of classic literature, Wolf brings readers back to the time of Jesus’s ministry, seen through the eyes of a faith-filled family and writes a believable and moving story. I wager that many Christian readers will find Ruth’s Empty Road reflects, in part, some of their own path to faith and following Jesus as well. Wolf clearly points her readers to The Light by the characters’ drama and her use of skillfully weaving scripture into the story.
