A Woman for All Time

An accomplished poet, Haines has crafted a haunting telling of the epic story of Abraham and Sarah’s larger-than-life wilderness journey from Sarah’s perspective. Haines brilliantly conveys the wonder Sarah feels for her beautiful home in the magnificent city of Ur, and captures the sense of profound loss the woman-child feels as she is uprooted to wander the fringes of ancient society. Sarah’s nomadic life, her relationship with Abraham, her frustration as a childless woman, and her later fulfillment as a mother, comes marvelously alive in this compelling narrative
