Seeking peace and safety after a hard childhood, Leah marries Judah, a strong and gentle man, and for the first time in her life Leah believes she can rest easily. But the land is ruled by Antiochus IV, descended from one of Alexander the Great's generals, and when he issues a decree that all Jews are to conform to Syrian laws upon pain of death, devout Jews risk everything to follow the law of Moses. Judah's father resists the decree, igniting a war that will cost him his life. But before dying, he commands his son to pick up his sword and continue the fight - or bear responsibility for the obliteration of the land of Judah. Leah, who wants nothing but peace, struggles with her husband's decision - what kind of God would destroy the peace she has sought for so long?

"You will be called Anippe, daughter of the Nile. Do you like it?" Without waiting for a reply, she pulls me into her squishy, round tummy for a hug. I’m trying not to cry. Pharaoh's daughters don't cry. When we make our way down the tiled hall, I try to stop at ummi Kiya's chamber. I know her spirit has flown, yet I long for one more moment. Amenia pushes me past so I keep walking and don't look back. Like the waters of the Nile, I will flow.

Great Story line.
I really enjoyed the story. it was very well executed. The timelines all met, with the History I had learned. I enjoyed it very much. I still had trouble, with the voice distinctions of some of the Characters.

Favorite Author
I was so enthralled by the historical take on the bible. This is the fourth book in the series, to make a book out of the prophets kept me wanting more. Author is one of my favorite now and so are the Narrators. I search by author and also by narrators. If you enjoy the author, you have to also like the narrators.

Herod not so great!
It was interesting learning more about this character but I found there were just too many names! I had to keep rewinding. Also the men's voices were too hard in the ears - sorry. I am an avid follower of both the author and the narrator but I'm afraid I couldn't give the perfect rating this time. Keep writing though!
