Multi-Cultural Fiction
This groundbreaking collection of short stories brings to life the women—daring, brave, thoughtful, and wise—who played important and exciting roles in the early days of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The stories take an imaginative perspective, filling in between the lines of scripture, history and tradition, and offering role models of faith for young women today. Readers will meet eighteen women including Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Miriam, Esther, Mary Magdalene, Khadija and Aisha.
