What is 'Story of Ruth' all about In Literature for children and Young Adults?

Unless one is totally mistaken (The Story of Ruth) refers to the Biblical book of Ruth and the adventures, for lack of a better Word, of Ruth and Naomi, two Jewish women in the Old Testament. For some odd reason, Ruth has become associated with laundry applicances and detergents ( maid of all work?) I am not aware of the Biblical character being adapted to any modern novel. She"s an Old Testament character.
