Backdrop

This is the story of two young people who do not always conform to established customs of the day. To most, an introverted and plain looking man and a spirited sometimes unruly young woman who would never make a couple. Circumstances bring them together and when disaster brings them together in marriage a miracle threatens not only their marriage, but their lives. She could be condemned to stoning, he to a lifetime of disgrace. Walk with them through the trials, tragedies, and ultimate victory as they get through it all by living their lives in faithful obedience to the Lord. From being strangers to friends, to married, to falling in love, from ostracization to homelessness, to a stable, and then on the run. And finally, a chance to return home and start a new life!
