She was a woman in love, innocent in the blossom of young love. Her hero, Israel’s hero, was a warrior and her fathers sworn enemy. Her love would be used as a pawn, her heart used in a political game. Her innocent love, tried in the furnace of abandonment. To save her husband’s life, she risked her own, never to see him again. Her first betrayer, her father king Saul, sold her to a man whose love would prove true even as he watched her leave after years of happy, wedded bliss. Michal was a woman abandoned, with no one to trust, without a safe place or a the protective arms of love. Remembered as the woman who hated the dancing David, she deserves more. Her life, her heart speaking to us about the betrayal of abuse, this is her story.
