Synopsis

Avram has spent his life raising sheep in the hills around his native Bethlehem. Old age finds him cynical, peculiar, and perhaps dangerous. After Avram and his mute wife Yael reluctantly accept responsibility for an unwanted child, the girl’s charming innocence endears her to the couple. When Channah is a young teen, her stepfather unexpectedly appears and demands custody, taking her away to an arranged marriage. The young woman hopes for a kind husband, cherishing the dream of someday having her own child to love. Meanwhile, an old friend persuades Avram to investigate rumors of a miraculous healer. What the old shepherd finds challenges everything he has ever believed.

I like the way this writer wrote, surprising readers along the way with characters, tidbits, history. I don't really want to say why or how to spoil it for readers, just that it's interesting that she takes readers into a certain time line in history we know well but on the other side of the situat......more
