However, it isn't until the last part of this book/audiobook where Deborah's biblical legacy is revealed. She also writes about the horrors of slavery imposed upon the Hebrews by the Canaanites. She incorporates various Hebrew customs that were followed at that time into this story. Since this is all we know of Deborah (and that she was the wife of Lapidoth), author Ann Burton brings to life a detailed fictional account of ancient Israel during Deborah's time and possibly how Deborah might have lived. In the Book of Judges, Deborah, who only appears in a few verses, inspired the Israelites to a mighty victory over the Canaanites. From 1950 to 1970 (I was born in 1963), it was one of the 20 most popular names for girls.Īlthough I knew this from when I was young, I always wanted to know more about the Old Testament judge and prophetess of whom I share the same name.

The overarching narrative is Matthew’s path to redemption, both personally and professionally. There are two plot arcs that occur simultaneously. There is a certain conviction to your writing that gives power to your story. If anything, Patience is bound to stir up as much or more discussion and dissent as Passion. Fortunately for us readers, this alchemy has not subsided. Truly, there is some alchemy in your writing in that readers remained so curious, so desirous of reading a sequel to a book originally published nearly 5 years previous. I cannot think of Passion without humming the tune to “Break On Through to the Other Side.” I’m not certain what astounded me the most: the number of times the main protagonists would couple behind a screen in the Crystal Palace during the World’s Fair or the length of Mark’s member which was so tremendous that it actually rearranged organs inside the heroine’s reproductive area. In the days leading up to my reading of Patience, I recalled with some fondness a few of the more memorable parts of Passion. After five years of wondering and waiting, the much anticipated sequel to Passion is in the bookstores.
