Redeeming Ruth is the inspirational, true story of an abandoned baby, a devastating diagnosis, and the way God loves broken, hurting people through us--even though we may be broken and hurt, too.

When Meadow met her, Ruth was a sixteen-month-old child that some church friends were hosting from an orphanage in Uganda. She had cerebral palsy and was so weak she couldn't lift her head. Meadow had always felt a call to adopt, but was this what God meant? Part family drama, part travel adventure, and part memoir, Redeeming Ruth is a heartwarming, against-all-odds story about the most unlikely pairing of a typical American family and a physically challenged orphaned girl from Uganda. Much more than an adoption story, this book explores what happens when we sacrificially reach out and share God's love with others.

Ruth's story will inspire families considering adoption, people raising or teaching children with special needs, caregivers, and those grieving the loss of a loved one, ministering to people with disabilities, or striving to serve God despite their own wounded hearts and broken dreams.

Features:
• Includes a Reader's Guide at the end of the book for each chapter for group discussion or personal reflection.
• An eight-page insert with personal photos will be included.
• All personal proceeds from this book benefit orphans and people with disabilities in Uganda.

Praise for Redeeming Ruth:
"Sure to inspire an outbreak of deepened hearts, larger families, greater love. Isn't this the kind of life Jesus has called us all to?”
–Leslie Leyland Fields, author of Crossing the Waters: Following Jesus through the Storms, the Fish, the Doubt and the Seas

“In all my years of journalism, I've read few accounts so well told, so powerfully written, so deeply moving. Merrilll eloquently describes the suffering that comes with love, and the love that blossoms in suffering. Be prepared to have your heart gripped—and strangely warmed.” 
–Mark Galli, editor in chief of Christianity Today 

“Some stories warm your heart; others break it. Redeeming Ruth does both. She was the littlest, the last, and the least of all, but God used this exceptional child to change not only a family, but an entire community—and, Lord willing, you too. God said, ‘A little child shall lead them,’ and I pray Ruth’s story will lead you into a closer, sweeter, and more intimate encounter with Jesus than you dreamed possible. I have the deepest admiration and respect for the Merrill family, and it’s with great joy I recommend this book to you!” 
–Joni Eareckson Tada, CEO of Joni and Friends International Disability Center 

“Meadow Rue Merrill is a great storyteller, and she’s gifted us with the story of her beautiful Ruth. You’ll be glad you picked it up and won’t want to put it down.” 
–Margot Starbuck, author of The Girl in the Orange Dress

“Honest, painful, and full of hard-won wisdom, Redeeming Ruth tells the story of one family’s adoption of a medically fragile daughter and how opening their home and hearts to her would forever affect their notion of who are the blessed ones in our world.” 
–Jennifer Grant, author of Love You More

“In this riveting, beautifully written book, Meadow Rue Merrill takes us through the story of her daughter Ruth—from her unlikely adoption from Africa to her inclusion in the Merrill family to her growth and beauty as a thriving little girl… It is ultimately a story about family, about faith, and about coming home. I highly recommend this book.” 
–Amy Julia Becker, author of A Good and Perfect Gift
