To make matters harder, she has to learn how to get along with the other girls in the kitchen. When she arrives there, she works alongside several other girls in a kitchen with tools much more efficient than the ones she was used to however, she wants nothing more than to be back in her own home and kitchen. When her family hosts a feast for a special guest, an accident sends Shoshana fleeing to Kadesh, a City of Refuge. She knows just how to make and prepare the food to her family’s liking, especially her father’s. I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review shared here.Shoshana loves cooking so much that she basically lives in the kitchen. “’…perhaps if He had fewer laws, we might actually have a chance.’ ‘Adam and Eve had only one law, and they failed.’” – What a point! Who wants to worship someone he can fully understand?” As long as we accept that everything, He does need not make sense to our finite minds. Quotes: “…I do not think that God is so insecure that He cannot stand it when we ask questions. Exhibit more of God’s love and grace rather than judgement. Learned: Don’t judge someone by their circumstances. Overall, I enjoyed the character growth of Shoshana throughout this story. There was romance and drama as well but it was realistic and not overly drawn out. Liked: This book was a heart check for me as Shoshana sought refuge and found grace, love and forgiveness along the way. Impressions: I really enjoyed this read and ended up staying up past my bedtime to finish it. Will she find freedom among God’s people? Or will she seek refuge somewhere else?”
When an accident forces her to take refuge under the law of God and away from all that she loves, she struggles to see God’s grace in her circumstances.
Traditions, expectations, and the laws of the God of Jacob rise up like a prison around Shoshana, but she takes refuge in her favorite places: her kitchen and the top of the hill where she feels the breeze in her hair. Back of the Book: “Shoshana’s Refuge explores the struggles of a young Israelite woman during the reign of Solomon.
