The book of Ruth is a short story that has many lessons to teach us. Some say it's a love story. Others say it's a story about repentance and redemption. Still others say it's about "Hesed"... that is loving faithfulness and loyalty that goes beyond what is socially expected or legally required. The truth is that it is a book about all of those things and more. Ultimately it's a story about God's providence, goodness, and faithfulness when life doesn't go the way we thought it would.
