Wife of Lappidoth: A Mountain Tale

By M.R. Hyde

In this medieval tale, the mountains hold many secrets, some disturbing and others transforming.This is the story of a young woman's tragic life transformed by the kindness of strangers, faith in God and a return to community. Step onto the forest floor and breathe in the fresh mountain air as Leah moves from isolation to desperate loneliness, then to significance and peace in the face of abuse and violence.
