Rahab, a weaver in Jericho, is forced into prostitution by her father's gambling debt. With no choice in the matter, she often thinks death would be preferable. When Israel's vaunted army crosses the Jordan River, two spies including Ardon, the son of Caleb, come to scout the land. When Rahab saves them from capture and death, the two promise to spare her when the army destroys the city. Ardon has no use for fallen women, yet despite himself, he is attracted to Rahab. She is becoming a woman of great faith, but his pride will not allow him to forget her past. As the battle for the land escalates, both Ardon and Rahab will put God's faithfulness to the test. Daughter of Deliverance is brimming with adventure, romance, and heroic acts of faith.

Set against Israelite Conquest of Canaan and Jericho, the book is biblical fiction: private dialogue, chronology and motives are imaginative expansions of scripture rather than independently documented biography.
