Such an inspirational story. Congrats on the beautifully written review. I'm sure we can all learn to face obstacles and endure like Na'amah.

Nice review! It is certainly a unique premise for a book! Na'amah sounds like a strong woman.

The book obviously affected you deeply. I am sure the author will be pleased with your review. I think the story has great potential and I love the idea of a completely different perspective on what is happening.

I read the sample and was enthralled--the author has such a wonderful way of painting word-pictures. Your review added even more information that makes me want to purchase the book and read it all. The premise of the main character having Asperger's is so interesting--I have a niece who is highly functioning on the scale. Thanks for your great review.

A writer who belongs to the modern times donning the role of a biblical character is too challenging. Vickyoreo86 has done justice by rating it 4 out of 4.

The first two pages were quite interesting read but the following pages when she was 13 summers slowed down and took a bit of boring turn. Which made me put it down in place of better books to read. But I still would like to read it when the right time and place comes. :techie-reference: :?:

What a great review! I'm so excited about this book. I love historical fiction, but I shy away from anything to do with religion. However, your last paragraph set my mind at ease. Thanks for your insight on what seems a wonderful book!

This is a really great review, so much so that I immediately began to read the entire novel. The accuracy of your comment
T.K Thorne's descriptions and hidden meanings are wonderful to read
is one I found to be true and rewarding as I continued to read. The quality of this review is a good match for the quality of the author's writing.

Thank you very much for your review.
I think I would enjoy this book, too. Lately I've become more and more interested in describing colors, textures and materials, for example, and the character from this book may give me more ideas or show me how to describe...
A good book, no doubt.

I appreciated the fact that the author makes clear that although the characters from the Bible are real people that the book is fiction. Reading the few chapters on Amazon and the great review make me want to read how this story plays out. Good luck to the author with this book and the many more that are sure to follow.

I read the sample and was impressed with authors idea of what Noah's wife was like and her story. Great review, very in depth. I plan to read this book in the future.

I love everything that you mentioned about the book. Your review has inspired me to read this book. I've not yet read it but I'm already in love with Na'amah. Thanks for writing a thorough review.
