Betrothed since childhood, Elianna and Ethan have their lives planned out until the death of Elianna's baby brother while in her care. Her Jewish community may live under Roman rule, but its religious beliefs are strongly held. Shunned, Elianna isolates herself from family and breaks her marriage contract. When she is stricken by an incurable illness, news of the miracles of Jesus of Nazareth sparks hope in Elianna. Seeking absolution and healing, she travels to see Jesus, and her life is forever changed.
VERDICT Afshar (In the Field of Grace) fleshes out the gospel story (Luke 8:43–48) of the woman who touched the hem of Jesus's garment. Readers will be moved by Elianna's faith, and Afshar's elegant evocation of biblical life will keep them spellbound. An excellent choice for fans of Francine Rivers's historical fiction, and those who read for character.
