Phyllis of Philistia

Phyllis lives in a world where her father's love of clever phrases clashes with her own fierce devotion to faith and the people she admires. When her lover, a scholar named George Holland, begins to challenge the biblical patriarchs, the family dinner table erupts into a heated debate about history, morality, and the very purpose of marriage. Through Phyllis’s sharp wit and her father's bemused sarcasm, listeners glimpse a spirited young woman grappling with love, loyalty, and the weight of ancient texts.

The tension builds as Phyllis prepares to meet George, aware that his controversial theories could tear apart more than just scholarly reputations. The novel invites you into a lively Victorian salon, where ideas are as volatile as emotions, and where Phyllis must decide whether to defend her heart, her faith, or both. It’s a compelling mix of intellectual sparring and personal drama, setting the stage for choices that will shape her future.
