A Most Useful Betrothal - Netta Fei

Résumé :
Sometimes intelligent and beautiful girls end up married to fools. In the rolling hills of Kanaan lies the mysterious tale of Abyga'el, a fifteen-year-old Eber Y'israelite girl whose sharp intellect and breathtaking beauty are overshadowed by her blinding passion to rescue children abandoned by their law-abiding parents, like she once was.

Aby feels the discord of her rash act even more when she rides into Kalebtu, Nabal's primary estate, which is as cold as a winter night's wind. Will Aby find the strength to outwit the crudeness that is Nabal and navigate the harsh realities of the circumstances that threaten her, others in the village, the birth of the sanctuary, and her ever seeing Dawit again? Or will she succumb to the nonsense that could imprison her future forever? Join Aby on her journey as she discovers that true wisdom and beauty is born from within, seeking to be free....
