My Review
While I do visualize from what I am reading I noticed the author has an amazing Pinterest board for this book. I highly recommend you look at it as you read this book as it will enhance your reading experience so much! It's just amazing how the author makes this so long ago time period come alive right off the pages. Fascinating because the time period is so different from ours yet we as people are still the same and have the same basic needs. This is my favorite Connilyn Cossette book of all time. The characters and story line are so richly developed. I don't read many biblical fiction books, actually this author is the only one who I read for biblical fiction but she's amazing. She has a full understanding of the time period and it's obvious by her writing she has done and continues to do so much research on it. Richly developed with compassion,love,redemption and forgiveness throughout. We need not worry whether it is out heavenly father or earthly father forgiveness is ours! Published July 2nd 2019 by Bethany House Publishers . I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
Goodreads Summary
Recently widowed, Rivkah refuses to submit to the Torah law compelling her to marry her husband's brother and instead flees Kedesh, hoping to use her talents as a scribe to support herself. Without the protections of her father, Kedesh's head priest, and the safety of the city of refuge, Rivkah soon discovers that the cost of recklessness is her own freedom. Malakhi has secretly loved Rivkah for years, but he never imagined his older brother's death would mean wedding her himself. After her disappearance, he throws himself into the ongoing fight against the Canaanites instead of dwelling on all he has lost. But with impending war looming over Israel, Rivkah's father comes to Malakhi with an impossible request. As the enemies that Rivkah and Malakhi face from without and within Israel grow more threatening each day, is it too late for the restoration their wounded souls seek?
