Blackburn Fork Publishing announces the release of the audio version of the award-winning novel Noah's Wife by T.K. Thorne (available on Amazon, Audible, or iTunes).

More interested in sheep than marriage, Na'amah was a young girl with a form of autism we now call Aspergers. She lived just south of the Black Sea, a fresh water lake at the time she met Noah (see "Noah's Wife & the Titanic") in a culture still greatly influenced by the oldest known worshiped deity-the Mother Goddess. Her brother tormented her; her best friend was in love with her; and raiders kidnapped her. This might not be how you remember the Bible story (which barely mentions her) or how she was portrayed in the recent controversial movie NOAH, starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly, but it is how T.K. Thorne told the story in her historical novel Noah's Wife.

In "Noah's Wife & the Titanic," Thorne talks about an undersea research expedition confirming that a catastrophic flood transformed the Black Sea from a freshwater lake into a saltwater sea around 5500 BCE. Many scientists believe this event is the most likely candidate for the Biblical story of Noah-and-the-ark.

Written after years of research about the flood and the culture of ancient Turkey, Na'amah's story has finally been told. The movie has provoked Muslim fatwas and Christian protests. The tale of Noah's wife might raise a few eyebrows as well.
