"I have seen paradise and ruin. I have known bliss and terror.
"I have walked with God.
"And I know that God made the heart the most fragile and resilient of organs, that a life time of joy and pain might be encased in one mortal chamber."

Thus begins the beautiful story of life and love through the eyes and voice of Eve--Havah. Biblical fiction at its best. The Bible gives us only a brief glimpse into the lives of Adam and Eve. Ms. Lee has taken that and given us speculative insight to what life might have been during the 900 plus years and many, many generations of the first family. They endured the joys, pains, and disappointments just as we do today. Havah could not forget the beautiful garden they were forced to leave, and longed to return just one more time, to again feel the closeness of the One that Is, to hear His voice.

"How strange is the One, who hears the cry of our hearts always but hearkens to it sometimes not at all and other times in ways we cannot fathom."

This is not a book to be read lightly, but rather with time to savor and absorb the depths of thought that vividly flow from Ms. Lee's pen.
