Publisher's summary

Joseph is the pampered favorite son of the patriarch Jacob. His older brothers, deeply resentful of his status in the family, take advantage of the chance to get rid of him, selling him to slave traders and deceiving their father about his fate. It seems like their troubles are over. But for Joseph and older brother Judah, they are just beginning.

While Joseph is accused of rape and imprisoned, Judah attempts to flee the memory of his complicity in the betrayal of his younger brother. After decades apart, the brothers will come face-to-face in a stunning role reversal that sees Joseph in a position of great power while Judah begs for mercy. Will forgiveness or vengeance win the day?

Best-selling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith brings her considerable research and imaginative skills to bear in this vivid retelling of one of the most popular stories found in Scripture - a story of jealousy, betrayal, and a reconciliation that only God could bring about.

Amazing story!

This is such a compelling story to begin with. But the author brings it all together in a way that, that would be fabulous as a motion picture!

Loved it

I was completely entertained and loved the story telling. I thought it gave respect to holy things without being preachy which is hard to do.

Enjoyed retelling of ancient story

Appreciated the author filling in the gaps of a beautiful Biblical story. many lessons of jealousy, crime, betrayl, love, death, commitment, forgiveness and a reminder that God is at work in all of our lives. Adhered to the story with well thought out embellishments.

The reader did an excellent job, narrating the characters.

Loved the storyline but I’ve read the Bible. I enjoyed how the characters were narrated.
