The Daughter

Opis

‘You idiot, Thaddeus! You want to bring shame on our household, do you? Where is Rebekah? Have you been asleep for the last week? Has thegirl run away? Under our law a child who dishonours her father should beput to death. There must be a price to pay and I have already paid you the dowry – which is now null and void. Youhave humiliated Malachi in front of his friends; our family is now avictim of your stupidity. What have you got to sayfor yourself?’

In first-century Palestine, Rebekah is betrothed to a cruel man she doesn’t want to marry – so she runs away. Found bya kind man and his grandson, Jacob, she becomes their servant. Willthere be a happy ending for Rebekah – and for Jacob? Without doubt it is not a happy beginning and unexpected twists and turns lieahead!

As the story unfolds the words of the prophet from Galilee affect Rebekah . . . and many around her but they also rile the religious authorities who want to maintain the status quo at any cost. What does it take for kindness and mercy to show itself in the middle of a power seeking world?

An unusual romance, set againstthe very realistic backdrop of the time of Jesus, this is an eye-openingstory of the times.
