Striking beauty comes at a price. Rahab paid it when at the age of 15 she was sold into prostitution by the one man she loved and trusted—her father. With her keen mind and careful planning she turned heartache into success, achieving independence while still young. And she vowed never again to trust a man. Any man. God had other plans. Into the emotional turmoil of her world walked Salmone, a prominent leader of Judah, held in high esteem by all Israel.

Bringing OT women alive
Revisado: 07-02-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Pearl in the Sand to be better than the print version?
I probably would not have read the book as I read little as I am dyslexic.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Rahab, it made me think why did she protect the isralites and how she had a complete life change.
What does Laural Merlington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The story comes alive with the spoken voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did and I did listen to big chuncks at a time - I had it on my phone so listened when I could.
Any additional comments?
Would love to be able to listen to more of Tessa Ashfars books

When Jeanette Winterson left home at 16 because she was in love with a woman, Mrs. Winterson asked her: "Why be happy when you could be normal?" This book is the story of a life's work to find happiness. It is the story of how the painful past returned to haunt Jeanette's later life, and send her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her real mother. It is also a book about other people's stories, showing how fiction and poetry can form a string of guiding lights, a life raft which supports us when we are sinking.
