When Enos, a rising Pharisee, sees her one day in the market--the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on--and determines to make her his wife, Mary's fate is quickly sealed. His exorbitant bride price is the only hope her parents have of escaping abject poverty, but surely the fact that such a devout and esteemed man has chosen a girl of her station must be a sign of blessing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Mary enters training to become the proper Pharisee's wife, it is as though she has been abandoned in a foreign land, where one misstep could cost her greatly.

Then rumors of a miracle-working, traveling Prophet change everything, and Mary and Enos are swept up in events that will challenge all they hold dear and forever alter both their futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-length standalone biblical fiction from the bestselling author whose novels have sold more than 30 million copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor fans of historical fiction by Tessa Afshar, Mesu Andrews, and Connilyn Cossette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion questions for book groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50103768776927,"sku":"9798400505904","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/3RVjEGFCDc9798400505904.webp?v=1781097584"},{"product_id":"when-calls-the-heart-paperback","title":"When Calls the Heart - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eJanette Oke's beloved story of a young teacher moving west has captured the hearts of millions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNothing in her privileged eastern upbringing has prepared Elizabeth for the challenges of frontier life... \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElizabeth Thatcher is young, pretty, cultured, and educated.
