Eva
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside--broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers her genetic code connects her to every known human race. She is a girl of prophecy and no one can guess what her survival will mean ... No one that is, except for Eva, Mother of the Living, who calls her "daughter," and invites her to witness the truth about her story--indeed, the truth about us all. Eva is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the creation narrative in Genesis, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship--yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional misconceptions about who we are and how we're made. As Young's previous novel, The Shack, awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eva will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden"--,Provided by publisher.
