A promising debut from first-time author Lisa Larsen Hill, Daughters of the Wilderness brings the story of Zelophehad's daughters to life in a fresh and engaging way. What inspired me most was the courage these five women showed as they stepped forward to claim their inheritance. Larsen Hill's natural storytelling shines through in the sweet family moments and wise insights about holding on to faith when life is hard. Full of heart, this novel is filled with feel-good moments of healing and restoration. -Tessa Afshar, Publishers Weekly bestseller and author of The Queen's Cook Lisa Larsen Hill has taken an often-overlooked section of the Book of Numbers and woven an exquisite story about the daughters of Zelophehad. Daughters of the Wilderness is rich in historical detail and ripe with compelling characters, giving readers an imagination for what the Israelites' time in the wilderness might have been like. Lisa explores the complicated relationship between sisters in a truly authentic way, bringing light to both the humanity and the divinity of the Scriptures as only a faithful follower of the Lord can. A story full of God's overwhelming grace that extends beyond even our own expectations, this novel had me pondering my own faith and challenged me to go deeper in my walk with God. Well done! -Heidi Chiavaroli, Carol Award-winning author of The Orchard House and Draw Close to Jesus Breathtaking. Daughters of the Wilderness is a compelling read set in a little-explored biblical time. Noa is a riveting character, all the more interesting as a child of the generation of Israelites sentenced to die in the wilderness outside the promised land. Noa and her sisters take on issues of family loyalty, women's rights, and God's plan for each life, as relevant today as they were then. This story will both capture your imagination and send you to reread your Bible. -Lori Stanley Roeleveld, speaker, coach, and author of God's Abundant Mercy and Graceful Influence-Lessons from Women in the Bible Daughters of the Wilderness is a beautifully written biblical novel that brings the story of Zelophehad's daughters to life with heart, imagination, and reverence. Author Lisa Larsen Hill weaves rich historical detail with emotional depth, giving voice to women who wrestle with faith, family, and obedience in the wilderness. Her storytelling, built on a foundation of solid biblical knowledge, is immersive and compassionate, drawing readers into the tension, hope, and courage of these remarkable sisters. This compelling debut doesn't just retell Scripture-it invites readers to experience it, reminding us that God has always worked powerfully through faithful women willing to trust Him in uncertain seasons. -Edie Melson, director of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference, author of the Soul Care series Daughters of the Wilderness offers a delightful and faithful expansion of each sister's backstory, helping the reader imagine how their relationships, birth order, and even the meanings of their names prepared them to carry out such an unorthodox and dangerous plan. The result is a captivating tale of five amazing, resourceful, and braveyoung women who may just inspire modern-day ""daughters"" to ""come forward"" themselves in acts of justice, equality, and faithfulness. -Dr. Tracy Radosevic, dean of the Academy for Biblical Storytelling
