{"product_id":"2940011451966","title":"Noah's Wife","description":"\u003cp\u003eNoah's wife is Na'amah, a young girl with what we now know as Asperger Syndrome, who only wishes to be a shepherdess on her beloved hills in ancient Turkey—a desire shattered by the hatred of her powerful brother, the love of two men, and a looming disaster that threatens her world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoah built an ark—but this story has never been told!\u003cbr\u003eMy name, Na’amah, means pleasant or beautiful. I am not always pleasant, but I am beautiful. Perhaps that is why I am trundled atop this beast like a roll of hides for market and surrounded by grim-faced men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf my captors had bothered to ask me, I would have told them that their prize is of questionable value because my mind is damaged. But they did not, and I lie draped, belly down, across the back of an auroch, a large black ox with an eel stripe that runs down his spine and a stench worse than a rutting goat. My mouth is parched and swollen with dried blood, and every step the animal takes sends a jolt of pain into my chest. Snatches of ground appear between the cloven hooves—a succession of earth, grass, and rock obscured by the dark tangle of my hair—all I have to measure the growing distance from the life I have known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…an extraordinary work.”\u003cbr\u003e--Dianne Mooney, founder of Southern Living At HOME\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…a terrific storyteller.”\u003cbr\u003e--Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab’s Wife\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“…a novel of epic sweep, emotional power, and considerable beauty.”\u003cbr\u003e--Ron Golson, The Blount Countian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackburn Fork","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078403637488,"sku":"2940011451966","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011451966_p0.jpg?v=1763549532","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011451966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
