The truth is a harsh mistress. Stories spread by word of mouth are often colored by prejudice - the teller of the story can be influenced by many things. Often, the story is altered to convey ideas and intentions that are not necessarily accurate. Sometimes, stories are passed between people of a specific belief system in order to bolster their shared beliefs. And when stories are told with the express purpose of building a legend, the truth may be the first absolute to be lost in translation. This is a story about stories - how they are created and how they survive after being whispered from lip to ear. The truth is not nearly as important as the need to have something to share. It is what binds all humanity and defines those who believe in the same narratives. This is the story of Ruth, her family, her friends and her enemies. It is a story set in a long-ago time when stories were all that existed. You do not have to believe this story, but it cannot be disproved, therefore, it is what all tales are at the core - an entertainment.
