An Eternal Love: Tabitha's Story

An Eternal Love: Tabitha's Story is the eighth book in the Ordinary Women of the Bible fiction series.

After Tabitha loses her husband to the sea, God gives her the unexpected gift of a son and a new faith to follow the resurrected Messiah.

Tabitha thrives amongst her community of believers in the sea-side village of Joppa. There, she teaches widows, and a slave girl named Korinna, how to sew while she makes her living as a seamstress. She loves her adopted son, but when his recklessness threatens to destroy their entire community, Tabitha's heart breaks.

Only a miracle can bring Matthias back to her and all those who care for him. A miracle, perhaps, from beyond the grave.
