But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
Travel back in time with this historical fiction, laced with biblical events, romance, and a culture-changing event. The Israelites, living as nomads and led by Moses, are about to settle down and take a new land. The spoils, by tradition, will be divided among the male heads of families. That's a problem for one family of sisters who lack a brother and whose father won't live to claim part of the Promised Land. One determined woman sets out to change history.

Here's the set-up:
The Promised Land – God’s precious gift to the Israelites through the conquest of Canaan. But for Rizpah, the promise seemed empty; only a male could inherit land.
She only has one option: to petition Moses on behalf of her self and her sisters.
Despite the odds against her, Rizpah must fight for what is rightfully hers!
From the reviewers:
The era between the Jews' forty-year wandering and their victory over Canaan is the setting. Rizpah (referred in Numbers 27 as Noah) is the second eldest daughter of Zelophehad. Upon her father's death due to the plague, Rizpah fears she and her sisters will lose everything because only sons can inherit land, not daughters. Rizpah insists she must fight for what is "rightfully hers", believing there must be a way to petition Moses to allow them their inheritance.
In this unconventional historical love story, long-time author (and photographer) Aggie Villeneuva takes an thoughtful look at an event in the Bible that is often brushed over. History is changed forever when headstrong second-born daughter Rizpah (Noah in the biblical account) takes matters into her own hands and does the unthinkable by barging into the assembly and demanding an equal share of land with her father's brothers.
Aggie Villanueva shares with us a compelling story of strong women in a time when women were not allowed to be strong. Her main character and her sisters must fight for what they feel is rightfully theirs without upsetting the male influences of their tribes.
“Why should the name of my father be wiped from Israel like
footprints in a sandstorm because he bore only daughters?”
