Unveiled is a novella of one woman who changed all of history, and is written by Francine Rivers with great imagination.

At early adolescents, it is common practice for young women to be betrothed. Tamar has reached that age, and is going to soon be married to a son in Judah's house. When the day arrives, she is awed at how handsome her husband is. As the day unfolds, Tamar, though tired from her long walk to her father-in-law's house, is determined to be a good wife, and tries to remember everything her mother taught her. When the wedding ceremony and feasts are done, she and her husband go into the bedchamber. Tamar is shocked. However handsome Er was, he has a heart of stone. Tamar soon learned to stay out of sight whenever possible. As her days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, Tamar began to take notice of Judah's God. Losing her faith in the pagan Canaanite gods, Tamar felt an awesome power, that is unexplainable. She also felt the need to hang onto anything to survive.

Betrayed on all sides, and risking her life, she fights to fulfill her duty for Judah's household, for a chance to dare believe in a God who is all loving.
