Overview:

This is the story of the great flood, one many of us have heard told many times. But this time we are hearing it through the voice of Noah’s wife, Zara. How it felt to leave your friends and family behind knowing what their destiny was. How she ached to help her sons and their wives get along and all worship the true God. How Zara yearned to help Noah as they became the butt of jokes in their town, even when she did not totally understand herself. And then the adventure itself of living in the ark with all the animals, something that would test the patience of the greatest saint!
