Illustrated by
François Thisdale.
Ten loosely linked stories give voice to largely silent biblical women including Eve, Naamah, Sarah, Rachel, and Leah. Some are youthful and hopeful, others are aged and resigned, but all explore and expand thought-provoking questions about love and faith. Thisdale's digitally rendered art simultaneously emphasizes the traditional settings and examines the continuing resonance of the women.
