Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Being unclean in first century Israel could cost you everything, including your life. This is the situation in which Adinah finds herself at the age of 17 when her first child, a son, is stillborn, and she begins to bleed.Like all girls her age in Capernaum, Adinah wants nothing more than a husband and many children. Married at the age of 14, she is well on her way to realizing that dream. Her hopes are shattered, however, when she loses her first child and her postpartum bleeding never stops. As an unclean woman, Adinah is no longer welcome in her community. She spends the next year isolated in her home undergoing a string of humiliating and painful medical procedures, costing her husband most of his wealth, and earning further resentment and bitterness from her mother-in-law. Realizing that she will not be healed, she gives her husband the option to divorce her and flees Capernaum.

The following morning, Akim, an unclean man, finds her bloodied and alone on the road and guides her to an encampment of other untouchables.Adinah's dreams of family and motherhood are gone.

Thoughts of suicide and acceptance of her fate disappear. She wants life, and she's willing to risk going back amongst those who stoned her to get it.…
