ForeWord Review's BOOK OF THE YEAR for Historical Fiction (2009)Noah built an ark, but this story has never been told!
Noah's wife is Na'amah, a brilliant young girl with a form of autism (now) known as Aspergers. Na'amah wishes only to be a shepherdess on her beloved hills in ancient Turkey--a desire shattered by the hatred of her powerful brother, the love of two men, and a disaster that threatens her world.
Na'amah's world is based on extensive research into the geologic, archaeologic, and historical information about the time period and culture of ancient Turkey (Anatolia).
