Adah lives trapped between the life she yearned for and the life she chose. Childless and desperate, she’s failed to produce an heir for her once-devoted husband, Lamech. As his love turns to obsession and control, Adah finds herself drawn to whispered legends of a mysterious Wanderer.

When Lamech takes a second wife, Adah’s world shatters – sending her fleeing to her family home. There, a fragile sense of freedom awakens long-buried hopes. But her body hides a secret that will propel her back into the heart of danger.

As survival becomes a daily challenge, can a legend offer her the salvation she craves? Or does someone else hold the power to help her dwell in safety?

Christian Biblical Fiction is an interesting genre. The Wanderer’s Legacy by Natasha Woodcraft is  Book Three in the Wanderers Series. It can be read as a Standalone book. 

I will say that it took me a couple chapters before I understood the storyline. I have read Genesis 4 many times in my lifetime, but this book wasn't so clear to me at first. The main characters in this book are Adah, Lamech and Tzillah. Adah and Lamech are married and childless. The fact that Adah hasn't been able to bear children for Lamech really burdens their marriage, especially as Lemech become controlling. Adah decides to leave and go back to her family,  when Lamech decides to take a second wife(common in early Biblical times though not encouraged). I LOVE how Adah felt FREE from the burdens of marriage and bearing a child for Lamech. Adah had been living who a hardened heart, but after leaving she really feels Jesus calling her and gives her life to Jesus. I really LOVE the growth in the story and that I was finally able to get past the first 2 chapters. Adah had more strength then she really knew she had. I LOVED reading Adah's story. I think though who love Biblical Fiction will really enjoy this book. GOOD BOOK!

More from Natasha

I wrote The Wanderer’s Legacy because I believe stories have the power to communicate deep truths and transform lives, and Bible stories are no exception! Lamech, the first man to have two wives, features way back in Genesis 4, after Cain & Abel and before Noah. It’s not even a story, really, it’s a little poem stuck at the end of a chapter. What is it doing there, and what can it teach us about God’s goodness during a really dark time in humanity’s history?

That’s what this novel is about. It was an excuse to engage deeply with that story and the result is full of biblical truth that I hope will draw the reader closer to Jesus, understanding how his redemptive purposes are woven through the fabric of the whole Bible, even obscure little poems that almost feel like a sidenote.

Rather than telling you more, I’m just going to share the opening with you, to give you a taster…

“Adah presses her back to the pillar, squeezing into its evening shadow. Her heavy breathing is almost as loud as the heartbeat pummelling in her head. Surely someone will hear?

Her chance to escape diminishes with every moment of delay. She is a desert jerboa­ – alert, aware of every sight and smell, yet frozen in place as she awaits her predator’s pounce.

Azurak should be occupied. Her son arranged it when she pleaded with him on hands and knees, eyes streaming in desperation. But Adah is sure she hears him. His rasping breath and distinct blood-soaked-campfire smell linger, fusing her feet to the ground.

Unless it’s someone worse than Azurak. Perhaps her husband will find her.”
