A Most Useful Betrothal

Beschreibung

Sometimes intelligent and beautiful girls end up married to fools. In the rolling hills of Kanaan lies the mysterious tale of Abyga'el, a fifteen-year-old Eber Y'israelite girl whose sharp intellect and breathtaking beauty are overshadowed by her blinding passion to rescue children abandoned by their law-abiding parents, like she once was. One day, Aby, as her friends call her, finds a child near death not far from her village of Ramah, in the desert land of ancient Kanaan. Her resulting rage pits her against her patriarchal culture. She secretly and sacrificially accepts an intriguing proposal that ignites her soul's desire to create a child sanctuary, arranging her own betrothal to the very wealthy Nabal whom she knows nothing of. She does this, right before reuniting and falling in love with Dawit, the young, handsome, magnetic, and celebrated warrior-son of the nation. But Dawit is on the run from their erratic king who wants him dead and, unbeknownst to him, Aby is a married woman in the eyes of the law. Aby feels the discord of her rash act even more when she rides into Kalebtu, Nabal's primary estate, which is as cold as a winter night's wind. Will Aby find the strength to outwit the crudeness that is Nabal and navigate the harsh realities of the circumstances that threaten her, others in the village, the birth of the sanctuary, and her ever seeing Dawit again? Or will she succumb to the nonsense that could imprison her future forever? Join Aby on her journey as she discovers that true wisdom and beauty is born from within, seeking to be free.
