This was a very quick read about Tamar (the daughter-in-law of Judah.) Based on the biblical account, Rivers does a nice job of fleshing out the story with the customs of the time. It was a fascinating period of history.

My first Francine Rivers audiobook. My teen daughter (who usually only pays attention to her earbuds) was caught listening and wanted to keep listening after we parked in the driveway. Encouraging.

Just finished this and I would say.. This is a very much an interesting and more indulging retelling of the story of Tamar in the bible, when I first read the verses it almost seems like the plot changes every sentence so i loved how the author makes there vague simple sentences and transforms it into a story with more action and dialogue but is still reminiscent of the original text verses.
I read this book as part of a bible study book club group. I liked this one so much I ended up reading the whole series. Francine Rivers takes a biblical story and embellishes them to make them more readable.
