Ahoti: A Story of Tamar

Miriam Feinberg Vamosh, Eva Marie Everson

A masterful retelling of Tamar's story of redemption, faith, healing, and justice

"As an author of biblical fiction, I know the amount of research and work that goes into crafting a story like this. Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson comprise the perfect team." --Jerry B. Jenkins, THE CHOSEN series

Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned by her father King David, Tamar--once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and healer of the court--suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom.

Enthusiasts of Biblical Fiction will love Ahoti.

Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel. The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living "desolate" (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance. Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose.

"Vamosh (The Scroll) and Everson (The Ornament Keeper) put an empowering spin on the biblical story of Tamar, the daughter of King David...[I]t's a welcome and often gripping portrait of the unsung courage of a biblical heroine."--Publishers Weekly Learn more at ahotibook.com.
