Devoted Heart: Ancient Historical Biblical Fiction Set in Rachel and Leah’s Old Testament Era for Fans of The Chosen

by Angela Hunt

Leah has always lived in the shadows, born the elder twin yet overlooked in favor of her radiant younger sister, Rachel. When Jacob arrives from Canaan, Leah can't help but admire him, but she is horrified when her father's scheming makes her Jacob's bride through deception. Married in Rachel's place, Leah becomes the wife of a man who never wanted her, but she turns to prayer, trusting that even amidst hardship, she is seen by God.

As sons are born, Leah's quiet devotion becomes the unlikely anchor in a household strained by jealousy, ambition, and loss. She raises her family, keeps her faith, and endures what she cannot change even as the world around her refuses to see her worth. When tragedy tests everything she has built, can a woman everyone overlooked be the one who holds a family--and a nation's future--together?

New York Times bestselling author Angela Hunt closes out her Matriarchs series with a richly researched portrait of an Old Testament woman who finds dignity and deep purpose in a life rooted in faith.
