A Winter Dream

Book Jacket

Don't be fooled by the title or cover picture -- you can read it in any season.
It is a modern-day telling of the Bible story of Joseph, son of Israel (Jacob).  Even though you know what's going to happen (if you are familiar with the Bible story), you can find yourself surprised with how the events in this story occur and the timing with which it occurs. 

It's a quick read.  This fiction book, unfortunately, represent unkindness that could happen many years beyond the time of the Bible.  However, (since you all know it ends well) I loved reading something that lifted me up and showed the goodness of the soul of men.
