Until The Mountains Fall by Connilyn Cossette

"Until the Mountains Fall"  is by Connilyn Cossette.   This  book is a Biblical fiction book  and is  so  well  written.   It is the  third book in the City of Refuge  series.   Rivkah lives in the City of Refuge  called Kedesh.  Her husband
 died and according to the Torah  she has to marry  her husband's  brother.  She   was not   comfortable with her husband's  brother and   resisted  any possibility of  marrying him.   She   yearned for her freedom and wanted  to leave Kedesh so  she  would not have to marry her husband's brother. She  felt   tremendous  pressure from her family to follow of the  Torah  but she  did not want to do as  she was told to do. Malachi  , her husband's  brother  loved   Rivkah  for years and was happy to  have the opportunity to marry  Rivkah.   Rivkah  left  Kadesh  in the middle of the night so she  could not   be stopped and  ended up in    a foreign ,  worldly  land.  She   became a scribe to  support herself.  She  was her  owners slave and forced to  work for him for many years.   The people where she lived did not  follow the Torah.  What  became of  Rivkah in this foreign land?   The  reader will  develop a deeper understanding about life during   the  Old Testaments times.   The  setting, characters   are  described so well and  the reader will  feel like  they are part of the story.  I  highly recommend this story.  Thank you to netgalley ,  the publisher Bethany  House   and the author for allowing me to read and review this wonderful book.   I am not obligated to give a positive review.
