Cattapan interviews Sr. Kathleen Glavich, SND, about her new biblical fiction release,* Book of Ruth: A Tale of Great Loves. "Cath-Lit Live!" features brief interviews with Catholic authors who are releasing new books. Hosted by Catholic author and speaker Amy J. Cattapan, "Cath-Lit Live!" gives viewers a glimpse into the latest Catholic books while getting to know a bit about the author as well.  ![Book of Ruth](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Book%20of%20Ruth.jpg?width=333&name=Book%20of%20Ruth.jpg) > #### [Book of Ruth: A Tale of Great Loves](https://www.amazon.com/Book-Ruth-Tale-Great-Loves/dp/B0975XQNCD/) by Sr. Kathleen Glavich, SND  > > How did a worshipper of Chemosh land on the family tree of Jesus? How did she become the paragon of faithful love to this day? The biblical story of Ruth is a classic. Using imagination and what is known about Ruth's times, Sister Kathleen expanded this four-page tale in her novel [***Book of Ruth, a Tale of Great Loves.***](https://www.amazon.com/Book-Ruth-Tale-Great-Loves/dp/B0975XQNCD/) In the book you meet the loyal Ruth, an immigrant; Naomi, her mother-in-law, whose faith is sorely tried; and Boaz, who opens his heart to the foreigner Ruth and Naomi and rescues them from poverty. God's never-ending love for his people is the dominant theme.     ![Sister Kathleen headshot](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sister%20Kathleen%20headshot.jpg?width=767&name=Sister%20Kathleen%20headshot.jpg)   About the author: Mary Kathleen Glavich is a Sister of Notre Dame from Chardon, Ohio.
