Where did the idea for The Red Tent come from?

0

I had just turned 40, needed a new career challenge after writing non-fiction for 20-plus years, and turned to the most venerable source for story ideas: the Bible. Although I started out thinking I’d write the story of the relationship between Rachel and Leah, I found Dinah’s story to be very dramatic and compelling. Also her total silence in Genesis inspired me to tell the story from her perspective.
