Leah Price

Quote 1

How could I leave Adah behind again? Once in the womb, once to the lion, and now like Simon Peter I had denied her for the third time. (3.18.10)

If you don't have our Bible guide open side-by-side with this one, you'll want to check out Simon Peter, or Saint Peter, here. In one of his not-quite-finest moments, Simon Peter denies knowing Jesus after Jesus gets captured and hauled off to be crucified, and Leah similarly believes she has, once again, denied her sister Adah.
