I have read and reread this book many times. I can't remember what I read about Dinah in the Bible, and what I read in the novel. This was a great peek into the lives of Leah and Rebeccah and their families. I like thinking of Leah as a trusted friend and advisor, even if she wasn't Jacob's first choice.

Loved the book... The novel takes one behind the closed doors of the women in Biblical times. Traditions of ancient womanhood.
I loved this book; the sacred feminine aspects were comforting and spoke volumes.
