O.k., I picked this up because the story (about an archeological find concerning Biblical characters) sounds interesting, if possibly a bit heavy. I've just been looking at the back of the book. There's a photo of the author and she's this beautiful woman and her experience include's writing for glossy women's magazine's like Glamour. So I was thinking "Wow, Biblical archeology seems like a stretch for some one like her." Then I see in the fine print that she's also a Senior Rabbi of a large synagogue in L.A.! There goes all my steriotypes about glamorous, beautiful women!
