Multi-Cultural Fiction

Picture
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.
      Ages 10 to adult  Reading guide available                

Publishers Weekly - “The device of using short stories to better establish these women’s characters and spiritual motivations works well and should appeal to a wide audience.” 

Montreal Anglican- “At the hands of its authors there is nothing arid about the desert or the dedication of the women ‘daring, brave, thoughtful and wise.’” 

WWW.Childrenslit.com- “…will be appreciated and enjoyed by young people of faith, young feminists and also by comparative religion students….”

Booklist - “An interesting way of showing how three religions spring from the same sandy landscape.” 

Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter- “Recommended for middle school and above as a starting point for discussions of the role of women in religious communities.”
