by Lorraine Healy (Author)
"These brief yet powerful poems take Genesis' mothers and fathers off their saintly pedestal and lead readers into their real-life struggles with God, neighbor and each other. Find a quiet spot, and gaze into the hearts of characters you might have thought you "knew" but perhaps did not." -Wes Howard-Brook, author of "Come Out, My People': God's Call Out of Empire in the Bible and Beyond
