Barren: A Contemporary Story of Sarai (Margins of Genesis Book 1)

When a car crash claims their parents, Isabelle Serug and her older siblings are left reeling—orphans in the snowy reaches of northern Minnesota. Taken in by two brothers from their tribe, the family clings to hope, faith, and each other to survive.

But when a divine calling urges them to leave everything behind for an unfamiliar land, Isabelle is swept into a journey that will test the limits of love, loyalty, and belief. As their new life unravels, she must face impossible choices—and find the courage to rise when everything around her falls apart.

A modern reimagining of the biblical story of Sarai, Barren blends culture, contemporary drama, and timeless themes of betrayal and redemption. In the heart of every storm lies a choice: give up, or believe the promise is still worth fighting for.
