Two people hurting and alone. Two people cast aside and forgotten. Two people facing devastating blows. Two people overcoming. Rejected No More, an adaptation of the biblical story of Ruth, centers on a courageous young woman, Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi, who suffer prejudice and death in their families while in the land of Moab. Traveling to Bethlehem following their losses, Naomi seeks comfort in her home town, but comfort is not to be found. Even hilariously hair-raising stories and catty gossip cannot cheer her. The women of the town reject Ruth for her foreign Moabite heritage. Only one person treats Ruth with kindness. Will his kindness end the prejudice? Will kindness come to him as well? Just when things seem darkest, hope shines brightest in unexpected ways in this emotional and powerful story.
