Water from the Well: Women of the Bible: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah

A writer of women's lives for over thirty years, Roiphe turns her keen eye and graceful prose to the Bible and the stories of the Matriarchs--Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah. The author makes the biblical landscape come alive as she focuses on these remarkable role models and their experiences of love and terror, pain and pleasure, routine and uncertainty.
