Lioness : Mahlah's Journey by Barbara M. Mitton, HarbourLight Books (Pelican), editor Fay Lamb
Fiction from Numbers 27:1-11 and 36:1-13 "Go forth with God."
While the Israelites struggle to occupy the Promised Land of God. Mahlah bat Zelophehad is orphaned and left to care for her four sisters. But daughters of the dead are unable to inherit land, and it will take a miracle for Mahlah to obtain the means to care for her sisters and uphold the vow she made to her dying mother.
Mahlah must seek Moses, the leader of her people, and request something extraordinary -- the right for a daughter to inherit her deceased father's land. A right that will upset the ox-cart of male inheritance and cast her in the role of a rebel.
