In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar charters about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons in the Book of Genesis. Told in Dinah`s voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoil of ancient womanhood - the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers - Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah - the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that are to sustain her through a hard-working youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah`s story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate, immediate connection. 20260805123755.0 6354 6354 0 0 0 0 UWED UWED ANT 2013-05-21 0 810 D 53 000000024386 2026-08-05 12:37:55 2026-08-05 BK
