Abigail's Story

Abigail of Carmel hopes against hope that someday she'll marry for love and have children--but her family desperately needs her at home. They're in dire straits, and when her brother can't pay his gambling debts, she must marry Nabal to repay the debt. Nabal exiles Abigail to the countryside to herd his sheep, and she begins to love the weathered prairie and its people--particularly David, the warrior son of Jesse, who has taken her under his wing. But when David and Nabal come face to face in a senseless war, Abigail realizes that the tentative peace she's worked for could crumble like the very soil beneath her feet.Burton, Ann is the author of 'Abigail's Story', published 2006 under ISBN 9781585477500 and ISBN 1585477508.
