Master at mending copper. Failure at mending family.

Reuel's family have been traveling coppersmiths for generations, but it's not enough. His Israelite customers don't respect any Midianite, and his father only takes pride in what his older brother does. When Israel's power wanes and Midianite raids shift who's on top, all that could change. Has the time come when a second son can outshine the eldest?

Jael married Reuel with dreams of a home filled with love and respect, but her marriage has become as dry as the drought-plagued land they live in.

She has followed her husband's lead in rejecting all gods but is what she has all she'll ever have? Why does her blind sister, Zura, find such hope in the God of Israel?

All are broken, but can they, like bronze, be recast?
