In the time of the Bible, if a teenager hurled a spear in an empty forest, impaling and inadvertently killing a passerby, what price would the teen have to pay?
Readers can find out the answer in City of Refuge (author: Valerie Farber; 390 pages, $17.95). This novel takes an unconventional route in biblical fiction, relating an untold story set in a biblical society. City of Refuge beckons readers into a fascinating world; readers join townspeople in meting out justice to an ox after its wild rampage through town and accompany the unfortunate teen as he flees to a haven ( city of refuge) after the accidental murder– as dictated by biblical law. City of Refuge probes the feelings of the fugitive, his remorse, the yearning he feels for his home in anticipation of his long exile in a city of refuge, and his terror while fleeing from vigilantes, the relatives of his victim.

ISBN 978-0-9816058-0-7 978
