Book Description
"A daughter is not the same blessing as a son, after all. ""Shem, Ham, and Japheth: sons of Noah."" They are the only ones who will be mentioned a hundred years from now when people tell our story. I know I won't figure. Noah's daughter Timna has many unanswered questions about God's Plan and the whole ark-building enterprise. Why doesn't she feel grateful for being saved from the Flood? Why does God want to save so many animals (lots more than two mice!) and allow the slow death of so many people? And: if Noah's family will be the only blessed survivors, where will she find someone to marry? Day by day, Timna and the others aboard Noah's Ark record their experiences: the hunger, the fear, the pain, and the stink. The sons fear for their wives. The wives question their own worthiness. The animals catalog hunger, noise, confinement, proximity to prey--and to predators--and the loss of their own family flocks, herds, and fledglings. And Timna quietly questions everything."
