In the ancient city of Shiloh, Hannah and Elkanah are a childless couple; despite their love for each other, Elkanah succumbs to family pressure and takes a second wife, who conceives many children and taunts the humiliated and disgraced Hannah. Although Hannah's prayers seem to go unanswered, she holds steadfast in her belief in God. That faith is rewarded in unexpected ways. Smith's affinity for biblical research is evident in her well-drawn characters and detailed settings that breathe life into stories of the past.
VERDICT Smith (Redeeming Grace) delivers the final volume in series about remarkable women of the Old Testament, focusing on the faith and patience required to sustain a relationship of any kind. Fans of Angela Hunt, Brock and Bodie Thoene, and Connilyn Cossette will be pleased to discover this rising star in biblical fiction.
