The Sin of the Mother - Paperback

by Sherri Sechrist (Author)

Just as he did for her six older sisters, a poor widowed innkeeper must find a young man to marry his beloved youngest daughter. But Marah is determined to thwart her father's plans. Her mutinous refusal to marry any of the young men her father suggests lands her in a marriage of her own making - one far different than anything she ever imagined. Alone in a strange city, Marah is tormented by a whisper of guilt and self-doubt. She hides her fears through an orderly life of outward privilege... until an itinerant stranger throws Marah's world into a chaos. She's forced to face her past and place her future in the hands of a God she has never known. THE SIN OF THE MOTHER is the second book in the series "And Also Some Women." Like the first book, TWELFTH YEAR, it brings to life a New Testament woman whose joys and struggles are not that different from those we face today. We're reminded of an eternal truth: God always has his hand in our lives, even when we don't know it.
