HISTORICAL FICTION · BOOK I OF A TRILOGY

Joseph — The Dreamer

Loved by his father, hated by his brothers — a boy sold into slavery, raised to rule an empire, who spends a generation deciding whether to forgive the brothers who betrayed him.

You know the story from Genesis. This is not devotional writing. It is a political thriller embedded in a family drama, in the tradition of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles.
