Ruth and Naomi · Ruth 1–4
What happens in the Bible account?
The Book of Ruth begins after Naomi has lost her husband and sons while living in Moab. When Naomi returns to Bethlehem, Ruth goes with her. The story follows Ruth’s loyalty, her work gathering grain, and the family’s path toward a new future.
How does Mushkie’s story relate?
The Volume One preview page shows Naomi telling the others they may return to their families. Mushkie stays with Naomi, making the choice to follow her wherever she goes. The page uses that small decision to bring the story’s theme of loyalty into focus.
