Beschreibung
It takes a village to raise a child ... and a city (thé city?) to raise a scribe?
God has a dilemma. You see, there's this kid, and he has to get into school. But it's 2000BC and the child belongs to some peasants. Who's ever heard of peasants sending a child to school? - what a mess.
Enter Debra: Doing Ancient Near Eastern Studies at college; her dead father, an archaeologist; an anachronistically democratic view of education, and ... she's out on a walk.
God's eyes slip down to the skimpy sandals she has on and he smiles ...

But who would have thought that being abandoned in Sumer in 2000BC would be so much fun?
Even learning to work in the fields is fun - sort of - retrospectively.
But it's meeting the people - talking to them - listening to the stories - being IN the stories. Help!

This immaculately-structured collision with our most ancient literatures, written with warmth and humor, will appeal to any lover of books, and ancient history, and the beginnings of the Old Testament.
