A poetic retelling of the bible story of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Excerpt
One day, Abraham told his wife, Sarah, he had heard a voice.
"What did it sound like?" she asked.
"Like a bird singing, like the wind in the trees, like every sound in the universe rolled into one.
"What did the voice say?" Sarah asked.
"That we should move to a new place."
Sarah knew this meant they would have to leave their comfortable home. But she also knew Abraham had heard God's voice.
Sarah took a deep breath. "We must go."
