About this ebook

When her father dies and she is left in the care of her conniving brother Laban, Rebekah knows her life has changed forever. Her hope for the future is restored when she falls in love with her cousin Isaac, and their relationship starts strong. But marital bliss cannot last forever, and the birth of their twin sons marks the beginning of years of misunderstanding, disagreement, and betrayal. The rift between them grows wider and wider until it is surely too deep to be mended. And yet, with God all things are possible.

Join bestselling author Jill Eileen Smith as she fills in the blanks around the biblical women behind the men we know well. Her in-depth research and creative storytelling bring Rebekah's unique story alive with romance, heartache, and the power of forgiveness.

Ratings and reviews

Well written, Jill Eileen Smith weaves a tale that draws you in so that you can't help but keep reading. She manages to make the Bible characters come alive in a way that seems entirely plausible, whilst simultaneously teaching the reader about the culture at the time, without it reading like a history or Bible lesson. I love how God uses authors like Jill Eileen Smith to bring His word to life and point the reader back to the source of their stories, both God and His word.

Not my favorite I still love Abigail! But a good read!

Brought the biblical story alive on so many levels. Great rendition!
