Synopsis
The first novel in a trilogy, SARAH brings to life the world of the Bible in the story of the Sumerian woman who becomes a high priestess serving the goddess Ishtar. But she is also the lover of Abraham, and with him she runs away from an arranged marriage in order to bear her child, Isaac. The improbabilities in the Bible story--such as Sarah's advanced age when she becomes pregnant--are explained in this fictional version, which expands on the Biblical account.
