This is the story of the life of Rachel, one of the four matriarchs of the Hebrews. It is a story of true love in a time that, more often than not, marriage was a political appointment, a story of her barren state in a time when a woman's worth was measured in the number of male children she bore. It is a story of faith in a time when God was virtually unknown. It is Rachel's life, from birth to after death, the endurance of her love, faith, and generosity through the trials of treachery, jealousy, and selfishness. It is her story of how, at times she failed and at times she overcame the obstacles of life and was used through it all to build a nation of chosen people.
