This was a great book. The author did a very good job making the story come alive and describe life in Leah's day. There is only so much about her in the Bible, so much guessing must be done to make a full story, but it is very well done. I enjoyed the book very much and will read all of Cynthia Davis' series.

This was very intresting. Much is questionable as to what really happened--there isn't that much about Rahab in the Bible--but it made good sense that it could have been this way. I was however, very disappointed in the book when Israel marched around Jericho and the walls did not fall down in the book. Judges 6 clearly says, "and the walls fell flat", just like God said they would. In the book, a child asks, "Did the walls really fall flat?" and the answer is, "No, but they might as well have; we marched right in". But they did! I waited in anticipation as I read for them to fall and they never did. The book is good; just read knowing a lot of it is fiction. I will read all of her books.
