Master at mending copper. Failure at mending family.
Reuel's family have been traveling coppersmiths for generations, but it's not enough. His Israelite customers don’t respect any Midianite, and his father only takes pride in what his older brother does. When Israel’s power wanes and Midianite raids shift who’s on top, all that could change. Has the time come when a second son can outshine the eldest?
Jael married Reuel with dreams of a home filled with love and respect, but her marriage has become as dry as the drought-plagued land they live in.
Reuel rejected all the gods, and Jael followed his lead. But is what she has all she’ll ever have? Why does her sister, Zura, find such hope in the God of Israel, even though she remains blind?
All are broken, but can they, like bronze, be recast?
I really enjoyed this read. Biblical fiction is at times difficult to write, but the author does a great job describing daily life and world events while still maintaining a realistic storyline.

A very good Biblical era story. Great believable characters.

Another great work of Biblical fiction by Christine Dillon! Fans of her more contemporary books and her non-fiction will recognize the characters in this one doing Bible storytelling.
