About Noah's Wife:
Noah’s wife is Na’amah, a beautiful young girl with Asperger Syndrome who wishes only to be a shepherdess on her beloved hills in ancient Turkey, a desire shattered by the hatred of her powerful brother, the love of two men, and a looming disaster that threatens humanity’s survival.
Na’amah tells her story and sees her world through the unique lens of what is known today as a high-functioning form of autism. Her savant abilities and penchant to speak truth forces her to walk a dangerous path in an age of change--a time of challenge to the goddess' ancient ways, when cultures clash and the earth itself is unstable. Foreign raiders kidnap Na’amah, and her journey to escape and return home becomes an attempt to save her people from the disaster only she knows is coming.
The Biblical account of Noah's wife only gives us only a nameless woman who bears Noah's children and is with him in the ark. T.K.Thorne, an award winning author, has filled in the story based on geological and archeological evidence of a culture that existed during a great flood in the Black Sea region 7,000 years ago.
