Helpful Score: 4

I did not read the first book in this series (Michal) before reading this one, but did fine with it because I knew the Biblical accounts somewhat. Having said that, I absolutely loved this book. I enjoyed the way Ms Smith fleshed out her characters and made them seem even more real. I love the book of Psalms and this book showed how the verses interwove with real life.

Abigail is shown as a strong woman who also knew how to be tender and supportive. She was just a young girl when first married to Nabal and to watch her hopes and dreams be crushed was both sad and realistic. I love her story as it continues when she goes to David.

I can highly recommend this story to a reader- you will not be bored or sorry to spend time with this book. Even if you are not into Christian fiction, this book would still be a good read just for the tale of Abigail's life.
