Three years before the night of reuniting, Adam and Mia were struck with a catastrophe that ended their relationship.

You stood over me and you made a promise to me, as sacred as any vow” (p. 189). She told him that when she was unconscious in the hospital, she was able to hear things around her. That’s why she heard him when he said to her in the hospital, “Maybe coming back to your old life would just be too painful, maybe it’d be easier for you to erase us… I can lose you like that if I don’t lose you today. I’ll let you go. If you stay [alive].” (p. 200). Mia acknowledged how it was unfair that she just abandoned Adam, but also how she expected him to understand because of the

    Stacy Davis, self-proclaimed activist for feminism and womanism, is a “scholar trained in feminist theory and African American biblical hermeneutics” (Davis 23). In her article, The Invisible Woman: Numbers 30 and the Policies of Singleness in Africana Communities, Davis argues for a prominent place for single woman (specifically those who have never married) in biblical scholarship, and as leaders in the church, with questions of their sexuality left alone. Davis argues this viewpoint from the perspective as an unmarried black woman. Davis establishes the foundation for her argument in Numbers 30, a text that altogether omits reference to single woman, rather each group of women mentioned in the text about vows refers to them in relation to men (21). Thus, Davis establishes the omission of single women in the Hebrew Bible as the invisible women.
