Ahoti - Miriam Vamosh Feinberg

A masterful retelling of Tamar's story of redemption, faith, healing, and justice

"As an author of biblical fiction, I know the amount of research and work that goes into crafting a story like this. Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson comprise the perfect team." --Jerry B. Jenkins, THE CHOSEN series

Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned by her father King David, Tamar--once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and healer of the court--suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom.

• Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel.
• 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.
