The Struggle for Love

The Story of Leah (The Strugglers, Book 1)

De: Marilyn T. Parker

Narrado por: Randy McCarten, Stephanie Richardson

Faith building biblical historical novels of love, hope, and courage set in ancient Israel

Leah never imagined her father would betray her—slipping her into the marriage bed of the man who worked seven years for her beautiful sister. She tells her father that Jacob will hate her for it and Rachel will never forgive her. She is right.

While Rachel holds Jacob’s affection, Leah bears his sons. Yet despite heartbreak, betrayal, and the ache of comparison, she becomes more than the unwanted wife, carving out a life of worth apart from her family’s favor.

Jacob never meant to love Leah. His devotion belonged to Rachel from the start, and for years he’s blamed Leah for the deception that put her in her sister’s place. But when Leah’s life is threatened—Jacob is forced to face the truth: somewhere along the way, he has come to love the woman he didn’t choose. But is it too late? Can he protect her from her brutal brother? Does Leah still want his love—and will Rachel let him love them both?

The Struggle for Love: The Story of Leah is a moving historical romance with a love triangle that will keep you thinking about it long after the final tick. Perfect for lovers of biblical fiction authors Tessa Afshar, Connilyn Cossett, and Francine Rivers

Beautifully Rendered

Leah's story truly moved me!

I'd already read "The Struggle For Courage" about Obadiah. Loved it! But I didn't review it. I used to do reviews regularly because I believe an author should know how their work is perceived and because I enjoy it. However when policy changed allowing the location and phone/tablet info to be released (highly invasive, unnecessary and exposing people to scams which I do Not Agree with or to) I STOPPED!!

This book is sooo good, I probably shouldn't do this, but Marilyn needs to know it's "just that amazing!" Looking forward to book 3.
