'Abish' a masterful telling of young woman in scriptures – book review
The story of Abish in the Book of Mormon has always intrigued me.
Abish is first mentioned in Alma 19.
The part she plays is small and leads to many questions. How was her father able to have a vision and teach her? What were the dangers of having a father who believed as the Nephites did? How did she accept what her father told her? How did she end up in the king's household?
So many questions and not a lot of answers in the scriptures.
