Full disclosure, I am T.K. Thorne\'s sister, but even if I wasn\'t I would still be her number one fan. I was worried about this novel--how could she possibly write another historical biblical fiction that was as good as her debut, NOAH\'S WIFE? Again, she had me at the first paragraph. Her novels are filled with bits of wisdom and humor and there is always a bigger picture to discuss. I found her author notes (available on her website tkthorne.com) to also be fascinating.
