Can love heal the rift between two souls?
When her beloved father dies and she is left in the care of her
conniving brother Laban, Rebekah knows her life has changed
forever. Though she should be married by now, it's clear that Laban
is dragging his feet, waiting for a higher bride-price to line his
pockets. But then Rebekah is given a chance to leave her home to
marry Isaac, a cousin she has never even seen, and her hope for the
future is restored. Little does she know what a wondrous and
heart-wrenching journey she is beginning.
As Rebekah experiences the joy of young love and the bitterness of
misunderstanding and betrayal, her resolve is tested. When the rift
between Isaac and her grows so wide it is surely too great to be
mended, can she trust the God of Isaac's father Abraham to bridge
the gap?
