Noah’s Wife

Author(s): T K Thorne

Location(s): Türkiye (Turkey)

Genre(s): Historical, Fiction

Era(s): Ancient

Noah’s Wife transports readers to an ancient time and place, exploring the timeless issues of family, autism, religious freedom, and cultural change. Inspired by the biblical story of Noah’s flood and told from the unique perspective of a young girl with a form of autism known now as Asperger’s, this is the award-winning story of Noah’s wife, Na’amah.

Na’amah wishes only to be a shepherdess on her beloved hills in ancient Turkey—a desire shattered by the hatred of her powerful brother and the love of two men. Her savant abilities and penchant to speak truth force her to walk a dangerous path in an age of change—a time of challenge to the goddess’ ancient ways, when cultures clash and the earth itself is unstable. When foreign raiders kidnap her, Na’amah’s journey to escape and return home becomes an attempt to save her people from the disaster only she knows is coming.
