“This is a beautiful book of modern midrash–the ancient Jewish tradition of telling the stories between the Hebrew Bible’s lines. The women I thought I knew have come alive in these gorgeous and captivating stories, and they are unlike anything I expected. Their bravery and radiance remained in my mind long after I finished reading.”
