Más información sobre el libro

Nikkal and her husband, Tobi, help manage the family’s farm near the city of Rabbah. Although the birth of their first child has brought them joy, the past several years saw drought, famine, and pestilence in the land of Canaan. Furthermore, after forty years of silence the Israelites have invaded, making the future more uncertain than ever. Pressured to honor Moloch, the Ammonites’ chief god, Nikkal agrees to pass her only son through the fire. But, as doubt and guilt eat away at her, she begins to wonder if the God of Israel is actually the one worth following.
