About this audiobook
The first time she opens her eyes, Eve gazes on one whose beauty nearly blinds her, whose breath is in her lungs. Her Creator takes her hand and gives her to another like her and yet different. Together, she and Adam experience pure joy as
they explore Eden. Her favorite moments are when the Creator comes to walk with them, day after day.
Then everything changes.
Through one act of disobedience, Eve finds that her world is no longer a friendly place. With remorse in her heart, she must face the unknown future—the births, the deaths, the sacrifices, the loss of the only home she has ever known. Perhaps
worst of all is the loss of trust, not only with her Creator but also with the man who shares her life. How will they ever survive out of Eden?
Bestselling biblical fiction author Jill Eileen Smith imagines the life of the first woman to ever live, unspooling an epic story of love, loss, and the promise of redemption.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I won a copy of "Daughter Of Eden on LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I've never read any of Jill Eileen Smith's books before and now I want to read all of them. "Daughter Of Eden" is wonderful. Jill makes the story of Eve so real and so relatable. I read the Bible every morning and Jill's book has added so much for me to think about. God has blessed Jill with an amazing ability to tell a Bible story. I loved this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Christian beginning of all beginnings is beyond the imagination. In "Daughter of Eden, Jill Eileen Smith.takes us straight to the garden in (Eve's Story). What is great about the book is the sketched and painted descriptions. As the mind wonders and wanders through the beautiful park it is easy to become a child again. Just listen as the Adams swim by a waterfall. Their tomorrow is a desire to visit another beautiful place filled with gold. Most exciting is their talks and walks with God. Both of the Adams feel free in sharing what they have done during the day with Him. There is no shame until Lucifer comes by with a wicked laugh. His desire is to destroy their love of God. It's like reading a book from the Fantasy section of your library. Tension fills the pages as Lucifer sells the fact that they can become equal with God, and they will never die. The author also peaks our curiosity about what type of fruit did Adam eat. Was it the dear old apple, or was an....? It definitely is a splendid novel.
