    “This is one of my favorite books. It captured me; I couldn't put it down. I always recommend it as a "must read" to my friends, along with Pope Joan, by Donna Woolfolk Cross.”

    “I thought this book was fantastic. A lot of books that deal with the feminine worldview can get sappy or overly focused on children but this book just seemed like a real story about a real woman.”

    “The best memory I have of this book was the burning desire to drape a red sheet on my front door once a month!”

    “This was a moving book! I loved it, and enjoyed dissecting it for months with my friends. I suggest any woman read it. Although there was some graphic sex in it, it is hardly overwhelming to the fantastic story that ensues!”

    “Although this very interesting read was well written with outstanding bibical references, I must remind everyone that it is a book of fiction!”

    “I have two comments...
    #1 I am so glad to hear that someone else felt like they knew Dinah by the end of the book. I may be a sap, but I literally had a tear in my eye when I closed it.

    #2 On the idea of this being heretical... Dinah was so little mentioned in the Bible that I am not sure how "heretical" it is to flesh out her character and story. Marek Halter has written some beautiful books about Bibilical women, as well. Are we to assume that any added detail (in works of fiction, I might add) should be considered heretical? I just don't know about that.

    Okay, okay, this makes point three, but who's counting? Although I am a Christian, I find that many of my brothers and sisters get overly offended by things they read, are made to study in a course, or see on TV. What I mean by that is that I think one's faith should be able to withstand another point of view. Just because I read something doesn't mean I adopt it as my own view. I really don't mean to be preachy, but this is something that really disturbs me.”

    “A great read. I found it a bit slow at the begining, but I quickly got sucked right into it. By the end of the novel I felt like I really knew Dinah. Loved it!”

    “Melanie, there are details about sex and menstruation, but nothing that I remember as particularly graphic or erotic.”
