Daughter of Eden: Eve’s Story by Jill Eileen Smith

Daughter of Eden: Eve’s Story by Jill Eileen Smith

I have read several books by this author and I absolutely love her biblical fiction books! This was such an engaging, descriptive story about Adam and Eve, their children, and their life after being sent out of The Garden of Eden. This story was written mostly in Eve’s perspective and obviously some of it is fictional since there isn’t alot of scripture references about Eve and her life.

I love how this author brings the scripture stories to life! The chapters fast forward through their life-sometimes months later, sometimes years later. I felt alot of emotions during the course of reading this book. I really enjoyed it! Highly recommend if you enjoy biblical fiction stories!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
When the greatest joys she has ever known are stripped away, the first woman must find the courage to face an unknown future.

The first time she opens her eyes, Eve gazes on One whose beauty nearly blinds her, whose breath is in her lungs. Her Creator takes her hand and gives her to one like her and yet different. Together, she and Adam experience pure joy as they explore Eden. But her favorite moments are when the Creator comes to walk with them, day after day.

Until everything changes. With one act of disobedience, Eve finds that her world is no longer a friendly place. With remorse in her heart, she must face the unknown future–the births, the deaths, the sacrifices, the loss of the one home she has ever known. Perhaps worst of all is the loss of trust, not only with her Creator but with the man who shares her life. How will they ever survive out of Eden?

Bestselling biblical fiction author Jill Eileen Smith imagines the life of the first woman to ever live, unspooling a story of love, loss, and the promise of redemption.
