About this audiobook

Another Shot is a contemporary romantic novella based on the classic story of Ruth and Boaz.

My name is Rae, and this is my story. Regretfully, it begins on a sad note. Everything was taken from me when my husband died in a tragic car accident. The only person on Earth who could have possibly been hurting more than me was my beloved mother-in-law, Laura, who lost her husband and only sons in the same accident.

Laura was forced to leave Arizona and return to New York, and I decided to go with her. I packed my things with no prospects or expectations; all I had was the undeniable urge to remain with her. As a result of becoming a widow at 23, I was in a surreal frame of mind; and making a new start with my mother-in-law seemed like the only logical decision.

Less than two weeks after the accident, we were on our way to New York. I trusted we'd make it somehow, but never imagined someone greater than us already had a plan in place: a plan as romantic as a fairy tale.

This story was a retelling of Boaz and Ruth. It personified the story in a modern way and is suitable for Christians to look at to get a better understanding of Boaz and Ruth's story. This was of course a modern retelling so it's a given that some things might be different, but all in all, this story was faithful to the Biblical one and was still creative. I enjoyed reading it and seeing the story come to life in a modern twist. There were a few things that felt off simply because the cultural differences to then and now, so including them felt slightly off. However, I still enjoyed reading Rae and Dominic's story! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
