Description
You can see it. It’s within your grasp. But something...or perhaps someone...blocks your every attempt. Nitzevet is initially overjoyed at the prospect of marriage to the most upstanding man in Bethlehem. Yet all too soon, she faces head-on challenges trying to blend into this established family.
Through a series of tragic events, the man of her dreams begins to doubt his legacy as a veritable Israelite. The uncertainty that ensues causes the marriage to splinter and sway. Nitzevet must find the courage to stand against all reason, all custom, and all decorum to carry out the will of the Most High God. Charged with adultery and yet claiming her innocence, Nitzevet sets about overcoming obstacles that seem impossible. She must find a way to honor her husband while protecting her son.
Relegated to the life of a servant in her husband's household, she will raise her child as any other single mother would...this shepherd boy destined to be king. From an award-winning author with her debut novel comes the thrilling tale of a woman called to stand against all she has ever held dear in favor of a higher calling. In this against-all-odds book, the legacy of Nitzevet's family as well as that of her people hangs in the balance.
Filled with raw twists and unsuspecting turns, Legacy is one of those stories you can't unread.
It's perfect for fans of the book series Mark of the Lion by Francine Rivers or The Chosen video series. Will Nitzevet succeed in securing her family’s legacy? At what cost?
Legacy, a novel based on Old Testament Bible times about Israel's town of Bethlehem, represents Book One of a planned four-book series called The Lambswool Chronicles.
Advance Praise
Legacy is a masterfully woven account of Nitzevet bat Adel, the wife of Jesse and mother of David, according to the Talmud. Anna Moore Bradfield brings to life characters and a worldview influenced by the books of Ruth, Samuel, and Psalms, weaving together a tale that is both completely absurd and totally believable. She patiently reveals the hearts and motivations of her characters, while moving the story forward at a can’t-put-it-down pace. Her attention to details of Jewish Law and everyday life add the depth and texture expected of the best works in Biblical fiction. A great story that will make you read your Bible differently.
