The Book of Gomer
A Love Story of the Sacred Marriage
A doomed romance. A feminist and esoteric retelling of The Bible’s Book of Hosea.
Gomer, a fiercely independent woman, is forced to marry Hosea, the local prophet of YHWY. And she must contend not only with her husband’s piety, but with the King of Israel, a priestess of SHRH, and even the God and the Goddess themselves. All this as apocalypse looms large in the threat of an invading army.
