Rescued Heart
Ishcah has waited decades to marry Abram, a kinsman she has never met, and enters the marriage carrying the religion and expectations of her life in Ur. Abram's devotion to an unfamiliar God requires her to leave both place and certainty behind as his calling takes them into an unknown future. Their long journey includes family conflict, delayed promises, and the painful question of whether the destiny Abram describes can truly include her. Hunt's biblical historical novel imagines the woman who becomes Sarah through marriage, migration, faith, and the long wait for a promised child.
