In the final days of her life, a widowed Eve looks back on her long and eventful life, including her early life in the Garden of Eden, her encounter with a beguiling Lucifer, her life with Adam and their children, and her yearning for God's forgiveness.
In her debut novel, Elissa Elliott has ambitiously re-envisioned one of the world's oldest stories. Adam and Eve become flesh and blood after being expelled from the Garden of Eden, and they begin to learn what it means to be human. Eve experiences the ecstasy of ****** and the pain of childbirth for the first time, and her understanding and acceptance of these events begins to shape her as a woman and a mother. But, like many modern couples, Adam and Eve soon find themselves squabbling and drifting apart, as the lingering memory of the Garden continually haunts them. They have parenting problems as well, as their daughter Naava begins to openly defy their beliefs, and their sons Cain and Abel move inexorably towards their bloody destiny.
