Mr. Halter takes extensive creataive liberties with sacred historical figures. I do prefer Orson Scott Cards version better - Women of Genesis series with a book also titled Sarah - mainly because those books are less sexual and likely closer to actual events.

This version is well written and easy to read. Sarai's emotions are strong pulling you into the center of her heart. Halter creates a childhood for her with no historical connection but is interesting. Much of the first part of the book focuses on that part of her story.

From the first time she meets Abram you can't help but fall in love with him too as seen through her eyes. Her youthful crush is all consuming that she takes action to dodge marriage arrangements knowing she could only truly care for him. They meet again and Abram takes the princess from Ur into the wilderness to be his wife where she never looks back.

Halter then takes a spin on Sarai's perception about her renowned beauty and how it was the curse linked to her barron state. Her deep secret tears at her core. None-the-less, Abram's so in love with her and his newly found relation with the One God that he's not concerned about an heir. She doesn't have the same frame of reference and confidence and thus carries a painful burden, largely by herself.

The survival of her people during drought had much to do with her actions when they arrived in Egypt, but at great personal cost. Her heart ache drives her to hide her face behind a red veil while Abram continues to grow a nation. In time, she too comes to know the One God and witnesses a miracle beyond reason which will be retold for generations - a son from her own barron womb.
