Amazon.com Review
Her name meant "date palm," and like her namesake, Tamar hoped to survive the harsh environment she was placed in: to bend but not to break. Rubbed with scented oil and arrayed in wedding finery, 14-year-old Tamar is thrust into a world of abuse, betrayal, and disillusionment when she is given in marriage to an evil, idol-worshiping man. In the face of her suffering, she must make choices: Will she let her new husband, Er, destroy her innocence and corrupt her? Will she leave the religion of the Canaanites and embrace the God of the Hebrews despite the life of misery she is cast into? Or will she fall into despair and become as wicked as her husband and his brothers? Unveiled is the first in award-winning veteran author Francine Rivers' Lineage of Grace series of five novellas, which feature biblical women in the genealogy of Christ: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. This dramatic retelling of the scandalous risks Tamar must take to ensure her place in biblical history showcases Rivers' ability to sketch a short vignette of an ancient character and bring her to life in the minds of contemporary readers. The twin themes of sin's consequences and God's redemption resonate throughout the pages of this engrossing novella. --Cindy Crosby

 Unveiled January 6, 2009
This was an excellent book! I enjoyed it very much. It is the first book in the Lineage of Grace series. It got me excited to read the rest of the books in the series.
Fast delivery and great product! December 22, 2008
Love this series! It was nice to be able to complete with a nice product for cheap!
 A good quick read October 12, 2008
I read this book in its entirety today. It was a good way to pass the afternoon, and as always I enjoy Francine Rivers' books. However, the actual story part of this book is only about 130 pages (there are devotional-type questions in the back that are additional). The Lineage of Grace books are not on the same level (in either quality or length) as Rivers' other books like Redeeming Grace or the Mark of the Lion series. I would definitely recommend reading the Lineage of Grace series, but you might want to just borrow this book from the library and save money, since it will only take a couple hours to read.
 Not Francine Rivers at her best August 11, 2008
I am a devoted Francine Rivers fan and love her work. She, to me, is one of the most real Christian writers of our time. She's not afraid to touch on topics for which many Christians would criticize her.
"Unveiled," though is not one of her best books. It just didn't flow very well for me. To be fair, I'm just not a big fan of the Old Testament stories (although I did love "The Red Tent") so maybe that's why I couldn't get into it.
I still love Francine Rivers and will always pick up her books.
WOW! February 26, 2008

Unveiled: Tamar (The Lineage of Grace Series #1)
What a GREAT Book! I absolutely did not want to put it down. When I did, I was so into it that I remembered where I left off and what had been going on. While it is a "Novella" therefore considered "fiction" I found that it followed scripture, simply turning it into a detailed story. I found the book intriguing and really enjoyed the Bible Study in the end of the book. I also purchased Unashamed: Rahab (The Lineage of Grace Series #2) by Francine Rivers. I am in the process of reading it and fully intend to purchase the other three books in the series! If you are into a GREAT read, any of the books by Francine Rivers are a sure bet. Her writing is riveting. Every book I've read of hers has been spectacular!!
Now that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
