One family, torn apart by the birth of a baby
and the jealous rage of a king.
“Why didn’t the angel warn us?” Tamara demands when soldiers kill her baby boy in their search for the one born king of the Jews.
Her older son Shimon heard the angels proclaim the birth of a Savior, but what can a baby do against such evil? Better to join the Zealots, plotting revolution in the mountains of the North.
Little Tirza has known the truth since the night her baby cousin was laid in their manger, but that truth is locked in the silence and fear that have imprisoned her since she witnessed her baby brother’s brutal murder.
Thirty years after that terrible day, the baby in the manger has grown up. When he walks out of the desert, gaunt and sunburned, he changes everything.
The Innkeeper's Wife begins with a lively account of the first Christmas, but joy quickly turns to grief and bitterness when a volatile King Herod comes looking for the baby he fears will replace him. Plunge into the world of first-century Judea, with its Roman overlords, strict Pharisees, and Zealot revolutionaries, as rumors abound of a coming messiah and more than one is ready to claim the title.
If you enjoyed The Chosen or other biblical fiction, this book is for you.
