Ahoti

A masterful and redemptive retelling of the biblical story of the princess Tamar and her determination to reclaim her life and God-given purpose

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

Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel. Tamar's search to overcome humiliation and betrayal after being assaulted by her brother takes her away from her childhood home and forces her to navigate the machinations of royal courts and play a fateful role in the lives of far-off kingdoms.

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.
