Publisher Description
Ann Burton's critically acclaimed first novel in this compelling Biblical series tells the fictionalized tale of a young Jewish lady who makes and markets pottery to support her family. But when her brother's huge gambling debt threatens to enslave them, she convinces his creditor to marry her and forgive the debt. After her husband sends her to manage his herds in the hills far away, Abigail grows fond of its rustic inhabitants-and of an enigmatic shepherd-soldier who's on a collision course with her husband.

"Ann Burton had delivered a well written, bible-based, fictional version of the life and times of Abigail in the bible. Her research into the customs, dress, social mores and history of the time period fill this story with historical detail. Can't wait to read Rahab's Story and Deborah's Story. "

" This novel just did not live up to my expectations. I did not find it as engaging as The Red Tent or other Biblical historical fiction novels I've read. "

" Very enjoyable Biblical Fiction read. Strong female main character and satisfying plot. There are four unrelated books in this series. All are equally well written. "
