A Marriage Made Not in Heaven But During an Ancient War

How would you have reacted to seeing a lush orchard of ripe fruit after eating nothing but manna for decades? Would you have longed for a sturdy house after forty years of huddling in flimsy tents during sandstorms? How would you prepare for battle as a young Israelite who had never seen war?

Ohio author and storyteller Kay Flowers has written a novel based on Old Testament history that answers all these questions and brings up many more. The story of Achsah, the only daughter of Caleb (one of Israels twelve spies), has never been told in such meticulous detail. Three years of research went into the writing to ensure cultural and historical accuracy.

Calebs beautiful but strong-willed daughter, Achsah, grows up during the tumult of the conquest of Canaan. During a heated argument, Caleb rashly vows to give her as the bride-prize to the warrior who takes the Canaanite city of Debir. How the headstrong Israelite girl deals with her uncertain future is a journey of faith amid deadly enemies.

What theyre saying about the book:
A delightful historical story, so well told that you are drawn in from the very first page. This book is a MUST READ!"
     Rudelle Thomas, Divine Eloquence

What could have been a tale dry as Sinais dust instead blooms like a flower in the desert."
     Judy A. Totts, Medina County Gazette

Told by a gifted storyteller and writer. An inspirational read set in the Old Testament time with a bit more history than romance."
     Nancy Davis, Romance Reader at Heart

Certainly more true to the spirit of the Bible than, say, a novel like 'The Red Tent. Fills in the empty spaces in the biblical narrative without contradicting its central teachings."
     Skylar Hamilton Burris, Ancient Paths
