Into the Hand of a Woman (Paperback or Softback)

Judge Deborah Miller departs Manhattan for Israel, intent upon fulfilling God's mission--to aid exploited women in a northern refugee camp. Deborah exhorts her guide, the equally strong-willed Lieutenant Barak Cohen, to vanquish the evil, rogue Israeli officer Sisera.

"Into the Hand of a Woman" is a fictional adventure that runs the spectrum of a strong, spirited and courageous woman who accomplishes tasks that men are generally chosen to do.  Protagonist Deborah, a tough, sharp, non-stereotypical judge rallies an Israeli soldier into military conflict to expose the decline of justice in Northern Israel.  Though a woman's gender may be central to the story it is atypical because other aspects are just as central: God's role, two male roles representing good and evil, and a developing love story. Come face to face with cruelty inflicted on women and become aware that this is what is happening to women today especially in that area of the world.  Readers will celebrate the unexpected victories resulting from mystical dreams and miracles realizing that faith based issues are just as central today.  This is not an exact account of the Biblical Deborah, and it is not a religious book, but a spiritual, victorious one. 
-Carla C. Ohse, Author

"Based on the Bible story of Deborah and Barak, this passionate, action-packed romance exposes the injustices still inflicted upon women in the Middle East. Celebrate the miraculous victories stemming from mystical dreams and confirming the infinite power of faith and righteousness."
-Laurie Rosin, The Book Editor
