A 2015 National Jewish Book Award finalist and Sophie Brody Award honorable mention, these nine fabulous tales give voice to Eve, Lot's Wife, Miriam, Hagar, Zeresh, and other noted biblical women. Lemberger, who has taught the Hebrew Bible as literature at UCLA and the American Jewish University, asks and answers the question: What would these women say if we gave them a chance to speak? Read-Alikes Marek Halter's Sarah and Zipporah, Rebecca Kohn's Seven Days to the Sea, and Simone Selitch's Moses in Sinai.
