Overview:

Asenath was destined to marry Egyptian royalty. Yet at age 17 she is forced to marry the new vizier of Egypt, the man we know as Joseph. Her new husband is extremely handsome, charming, kind, really everything you would want in a mate but for one very strange, maybe insane, idea. He worships the invisible God, only one God and expects Asenath to do the same. How can she give up the lifelong gods she has worshipped? And if she does, what kind of marriage will they have?

A beautiful relationship ensues as readers share in their life, culminating in Joseph’s reconciliation with his family.

Readers will also be delighted with the original poetry included in A divine romance.
