The books we're recommending to everyone!

The Red Tent The Red Tent
by Diamant, Anita
One of my favorite books, this is the story of Dinah, a sister of the biblical Jacob, and the relationships of his wives, especially Rachael and Leah, and the customs of the early families from the book of Genesis.

Surely a favorite of many women - get this book for your daughter or granddaughter and continue the tradition.

If you enjoy beautifully-written historical fiction and wonderful characters, then you need to buy this book!
