Women's Fiction Historical
The prophet Nehemiah's cousin can speak numerous languages,
keep complex accounts, write on rolls of parchment and
tablets of clay, and solve great mysteries. There is only
one problem: she is a woman. In her early childhood years, Sarah experienced the death of
her mother and her father's subsequent emotional distance
and she came to two conclusions: that God does not care
about her, and that her accomplishments are the measure of
her worth - the measure of her self. Sarah, the talented scribe and cousin to Nehemiah, is
catapulted into the center of the Persian court, working too
many hours, rubbing elbows with royalty, and solving
intrigues for the Queen. Ironically, it isn't failure but
success that causes Sarah to lose her only source of
external validation. Sarah soon learns that she has something of worth to offer
beyond her ability with languages and sums - her very being
proves to be a blessing to others.
