Helpful Score: 1

The biblical story of Ruth, Naomi and their kinsman redeemer, Boaz, can be found in the Old Testament book of Ruth. It's one that many Bible scholars know well and words spoken by Ruth in the first chapter are often quoted at wedding ceremonies for their heartfelt words about committing to someone.

"Sixty Acres and a Bride," just like the story of Ruth and Naomi on which it is based, is a wonderful example of a young woman trusting God for the best plan for her life even when she doesn't fully understand what is in store for her.

Rosa, Weston, Eliza, Jake and the other members of the Garner family are all believable characters with their own sets of characteristics and personalities. A couple of characters that were not so well-developed were neighbor Jay Tillerton and his wife. Although they appeared in the story only minimally, their actions caused Rosa and Weston to behave in certain ways and it would have been nice to learn a little bit more about their characters.
