Historical | Inspirational Romance

The Old Testament book of Daniel comes to life in this novel for readers of Lynn Austin's Chronicles of the Kings series or Francine Rivers' Mark of the Lion series. Survival. A Hebrew girl first tasted it when she escaped death nearly seventy years ago as the Babylonians ransacked Jerusalem and took their finest as captives. She thought she'd perfected in the many years amongst the Magoi and the idol worshippers, pretending with all the others in King Nebuchadnezzar's court. Now, as Daniel's wife and a septuagenarian matriarch, Belili thinks she's safe and she can live out her days in Babylon without fear--until the night Daniel is escorted to Belshazzar's palace to interpret mysterious handwriting on a wall. The Persian Army invades, and Bellili's tightly-wound secrets unfurl with the arrival of the conquering army. What will the reign of Darius mean for Daniel, a man who prays to Yahweh alone? Ultimately, Yahweh's sovereign hand guides Jerusalem's captives, and the frightened Hebrew girl is transformed into a confident woman, who realizes her need of the God who conquers both fire and lions.

Mesu - you sure know how to grab me and draw me in. What
a lovely and interesting post about moms/daughters! I am
enjoying reading your newest book...it's on my coffee
table and I am enamored by your creativity! I would SO
love to win a copy of your book to give to one of my
friends who is also one of your big fans.

I raised 2 daughters also. Now I have 4 living granddaughters and 2
grandsons. My daughters are wonderful mothers also. You would never
have thought that when we were saying “clean your room” & “pick up
towels out of the bathroom”. Lol! But somehow they grow up and make
wonderful friends and mothers and wives.
