'Women of the Bible' series, 'Abigail’s Story' by Ann Burton
Abigail was one of King David's wives, but little is said of her in the Bible. In this wonderful novel about her life you learn about how she came to be wed to Napal, her first 'unofficial' meeting with David, and the love that develops between them before the events unfold that force her to the decision that saves her worthless husband's life.
This adaption is a little edgy but well written. A good attempt by a secular publisher to try and infiltrate the Christian market. A must read for women who enjoy stories about Biblical figures.

'Why Not Question' : Book Review - 'The Shadow Women' by Angela Elwell Hunt
A fascinating fresh look at the life of Moses as told by the women who influenced him, his sister, his adoptive Egyptian Princess mom and his wife. Rich in tapestry and customs of the time, it shows another side to the tragedy and triumphant of the familiar story. It is a much needed addition, although fictional, to remind us all that not just men lived during Biblical days.
A must read for fans of historical fiction.

'Why Not Question' : Book Review - 'The Redemption of Sarah Cain' by Beverly Lewis
‘The Redemption of Sarah Cain' by Beverly Lewis.
Completely different than the movie but wonderfully good. Sarah Cain's Amish sister dies and leaves the care of her five children to their successful, career orientated aunt. In the film version, Sarah brings the children to the big city, but in Ms. Lewis', she instead moves to her sister's house and takes over raising the children. There are touching moments and hints into the Amish life, not to mention a more clear ending than the film indicates in regards to Sarah's own future.
An absolute must read for fans of Amish fiction. Beverly Lewis is, as far as the blogger knows, the one who began the trend.
