Myth and legend shroud her in mystery.

Now hear her story.

From paradise to exile, from immortality to the death of Adam, experience the dawn of mankind through the eyes of Eve- the woman first known as ...

Havah

Lee surprised the evangelical Christian literary world with her acclaimed DEMON: A MEMOIR. Her fans will be equally pleased with her newest, a passionate and riveting story of the Bible's first woman and her remarkable journey after being cast from paradise. Havah, Adam's chosen name for Eve, recounts her life from a singular vantage point. From having known only blissful innocence, she must struggle through every post-Garden moment. Frustration compounds her plight as she repeatedly attempts to regain her former idyllic existence and repeatedly fails. Havah's life becomes a fight for survival once she and Adam are cast from the Garden, and Lee's poetic prose beautifully depicts the couple's slow surrender to a world tending to destruction. Havah gives birth, raises a brood of children, watches one son kill another, observes disease and death. Yet all the while, she waits for the fulfillment of "the One" (God) who will bring reconciliation and redemption through her seed. Lee's superior storytelling will have readers weeping for all that Havah forfeited by a single damning choice. --Publisher's Weekly Starred Review

"An enchanting story, masterfully told by an extraordinary wordsmith."- Robert Liparulo, author of DEADFALL

"Much has been written about Eve- but I doubt her heart has ever been so deeply plumbed as in this lyrical novel by Tosca Lee."- Historical Novel Reviews

"Tosca Lee is the most evocative storyteller to come along in ages. Never has the account of the Fall been so humanized; the hope of redemption so poignant. HAVAH is brilliant and breathtaking, inspired and inspiring."- Sharon K. Souza, author of EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT

"This is Lee's gift. She is able to create an Eden we cannot only imagine but begin to long for... In HAVAH, Lee demonstrates her ability to develop a character that goes far beyond cliche. Lee dares again to look into Christian assumption."- Lincoln Journal-Star
