Based on the book of Job in the Bible, this book is a heart-warming story depicting the hardships faced by Susanna Steiner who conceives out of wedlock; marries Reuben Maust; is abused and flees with her children; and marries Milton Leatherman to face still more problems. A sad story but one that compassionately looks at hard real-to-life issues. (272pp. Infinity Pub., 2004.)
