Betrayal of the Harvest Moon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662862045)

In this fictional saga, Betrayal of the Harvest Moon, the door to the Jewish world is opened wide for Christian readers to meet Aisha Benz, the celebrity fashion designer, toasting to life in her Tudor mansion in the quaint village of Eastern Hills in New England. Aisha is walking through a crowd of people when a book is thrust into her hands. She discovers at home that it's what Arik, her strictly religious husband, calls the "forbidden book." She flies alone to Israel on vacation, but abruptly cuts it short after skimming over the strange book. Back home, Arik becomes outraged at her refusal to throw it away. Aisha plummets into a web of emotional blackmail, forced to masquerade with Arik as a happily married couple. She grapples with this ill-fated turn in her marriage-as the harvest moon returns, casting a foreboding light on their Tudor mansion.
