Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King ofIsrael. Tamar's search to overcome humiliation and betrayal after being assaulted by her brother takes her away from her childhood home and forces her to navigate the machinations of royal courts and play a fateful role in the lives of far-off kingdoms. The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living "desolate" (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance. Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Tamar $c (Daughter of David) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Bible fiction. $2 lcgft $9 99895 655 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 650 7 $a FICTION / Jewish $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Women $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Everson, Eva Marie, $e author. $9 46243 730 0 $i Adaptation of (expression): $9 10 730 0 $a Words of Gad the Seer. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Vamosh, Miriam Feinberg. $t Ahoti $d Brewster, Massachusetts : Paraclete Press, [2024] $z 9781640609006 $w (DLC) 2023046876 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240521010623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A18E606173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
