Description

“Neither do I condemn you…” And everything that happened before. Ashra, fiery and restless, has craved freedom for as long as she can remember. She used to feel it in the fields when her dearest friend, Matthias, would sing her songs and weave her fine crowns of wildflowers.But she is not a child anymore, and Matthias is gone.Now at seventeen, she is arranged to marry Aacro. Though beautiful and familiar, he is beginning to resemble the very man she longs to escape—her own father.Just as the walls cave in, Ashra stumbles into a copper- shop during a trip to the sea. As the coppersmith raises his face, her heart stills.For he looks very much like a boy she once knew. A boy who sang her songs in the field. A boy who made her wildflower crowns. A boy who was supposed to be gone. Of Ashes, the theatrical Novel, was written by me (Anna Miriam Brown) alongside the musical soundtrack; Of Ashes—the musical. (I couldn't decide if I wanted to write a book or a musical, so I did both.) The full album, produced by Isaac Brown and performed by an incredible cast of singers, can be found on all listening platforms. Check it out—it's wonderful. This biblical but imaginative story surrounds the woman caught in adultery from John 8, and the leper from Matthew 8. There (obviously) is some mature content considering the story I'm telling—Prostitution, adultery, religious abuse, domestic abuse, deconstruction of faith, attempted murder, and death are the heaviest topics. So read with caution. (16+) Here's a little something that can help you decide if this book (or musical) is for you: —If you liked The Chosen tv show, you might like this. If not...maybe invest your time in a different story. While this telling remains true to everything that is written in scripture, I use imagination to fill in the blanks. A majority of this novel is fictional. —If you liked Francine River's Mark of the Lion or Redeeming Love, you might appreciate this. But if the raw and somewhat graphic content of those stories was too much, this may not be for you. Of Ashes is a story of redemption, and I don't shy away from the darkness that comes before the dawn. If you're not sure about purchasing the Novel, listen to the musical first. If you like the musical, you will love the book—as it dives deeper into our characters and has lots of scenes I didn't included in the album. With all that said, enjoy Of Ashes.

  • One of the BEST books I have EVER read!! I could barely put it down!
Where do I even begin??? First off, if you're looking into getting this book, I recommend checking out Anna Miriam Brown's musical that she wrote for this. You can find the video containing all the songs on YouTube, and believe me, it is worth every second! It premiered on Christmas Eve and I received a reminder notification just minutes before it started. I had only recently seen some of Anna's content, and it was intriguing to me at the time, so I subscribed and figured I'd follow along and see what I thought. I planned to just play it as background music while I folded laundry, not really knowing what to expect, but it quickly became clear that it was far more than just background music. I was FULLY invested, moved beyond words. I knew that I just had to get the book, and so I did as soon as possible. I impatiently waited for the day it would arrive, and when I grabbed the mail that day, I immediately ripped open the package and read the beginning. As a wife and mama, I didn't have the choice to read endlessly, but I honestly feel like maybe that was a good thing. I could have easily devoured the entire book in a day or two, but then I wouldn't have had the necessary time to reflect on each section I read like I did when I was busy with my typical household tasks. Nevertheless, I still finished the book within a handful of days, reading during naps, at bedtime, and little moments in the day when we would all do our own thing. This book grabbed a hold of me in a way that only the best books do. I've read many good books, but this one takes its place among my favorites, the ones I cherish deep within my heart and mind. Not only is it based on a real Biblical story (using imagination), but also it has a real and raw feel that touches you to your core. These aren't just characters with no depth, written to simply fulfill a plot; these are people, individuals with complex emotions and experiences. I don't often cry when I read books, but I cried as I read this one. Anna isn't afraid to dive into the deepest, darkest parts of life, because she knows it's a necessary part of learning to rise from the ashes. ... show more

  • Favorite read…maybe ever!!!
WOW WOW WOW!! The storyline is so intricate and there is so much deep revelation throughout the story! You feel ALL the feelings reading this book. The excitement, the frustration, the shame, the despair…I won’t spoil it but this truly gave me so much revelation to understand Jesus, why he came how he did, and to who he did. Just like today, there are characters caught up in religion and those that are in desperate need of a savior. And none are beyond redemption. Beautiful story, incredible work, and satisfying ending. I’m used to books that take you on an emotional roller coaster then at the end it seems like they leave loose ends or leave you wanting more. The ending left me satisfied but deeply impacted and I’m finding myself listening to the music over and over to relive the story! If you’ve made it this far, just get the book, you won’t regret it! ... show more

  • one of the best books i’ve read in a long time 😭
This book was seriously so good!!! You know a book is good when you genuinely get mad at the characters, laugh with them, cry with them, and relate. Anna is such a talented writer and I can’t wait for her to publish more books! Also reading the book and listening to the musical at the same time is 💯 If someone reading this review is on the fence….buy this book! It’s such a creative story woven with beautiful prose, heartbreak, emotions, and most of all redemption!!!! Also read if you want to feel slightly depressed until the very end hahah. But it’s so worth it! ... show more

This is such a good read- you will not want to stop for anything (except maybe grabbing tissues!). The themes are so relatable to anyone. I loved it! It's definitely one that I will be rereading.

  • It BROKE me and then put me back together.
Review written by Kaysha Sorrell: Of Ashes is the perfect title for this book. My heart broke as I saw the characters fall further and further into self destruction and hopelessness. I even felt hopeless. It was so hard to see Ashra fall deeper and deeper into despair out of her desperation. BUT out of the ASHES she rose into a new identity-as a DAUGHTER of the High King… And oh, how beautiful it was. This precious story of redemption brought me to tears as I thought of how deep the Father’s love is for each of His children. These stories from the Bible mean so much more to me now as they portray the heart of Christ. Anna, thank you for saying yes to God and writing this book. It will change lives. ... show more

  • amazing!
I had seen reels about the musical on Instagram. I was immediately hooked. I bought the physical book and the kindle version. WOW!! I listened to the musical before reading and the songs and emotions made sense as I read the book. I sobbed through a lot of the end. I know this is expanding and imagining differences from the Bible, but the message behind it remains. Only He can take all of our brokenness and make us new. Read this book, and listen to the musical! ... show more

  • Beautiful
I devoured this book in two days using all my spare time to read another chapter. It brings so much understanding and reveals the story in a way I could never have imagined. You will like you’re there with Ashra and Matthias through the best, the worst, and the redemption. Anna, please write more! :) ... show more
