Description

Noting that a high proportion of the women mentioned in the gospels go unnamed, Coffey musters her imagination to both name some of these women and amplify their stories. Among them are: the woman who baked bread and cooked fish (who becomes Raissa), the serving girl who confronts Peter (who becomes Deborah), Peter's mother-in-law (who becomes Sara), and the mother of the man born blind (who becomes Rebecca). Coffey presents these biblical women as models for today. - from Amzon
