Survival. A Hebrew girl first tasted it when she escaped death nearly 70 years ago as the Babylonians ransacked Jerusalem and took their finest as captives. She thought she'd perfected in the many years among the Magoi and the idol worshipers, 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 that 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.

"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.

Publisher's Summary
People often think of Job sitting on the ash heap, his life in shambles. But how did he get there? What was Job's life like before tragedy struck? What did he think as his world came crashing down around him? And what was life like after God restored his wealth, health, and family?
Through painstaking research and a writer's creative mind, Mesu Andrews weaves an emotional and stirring account of this well-known story told through the eyes of the women who loved him. Drawing together the account of Job with those of Esau's tribe and Jacob's daughter Dinah, Love Amid the Ashes breathes life, romance, and passion into the classic biblical story of suffering and steadfast faith.

Great story.
It was hard to follow the story breaks and i had to push the 30 second repeat often. The recording did not allow for transitions. Because it was such a good story, I pressed on, but it was difficult throughout.

Love Amid the Ashes
I really enjoy biblical fiction—not as much as I love the Bible—but it somehow causes me to want to study the Bible more. This tale had me very curious about how Diana would meet up with Job. In the end, the author shows her research so it isn’t such a stretch of the imagination. It was a lovely story of perseverance and faith along with some love stories as well. Light reading for these challenging times we presently face.

Culturally flawed
I understand the writer tries to create a story that happened thousands of years ago. The interaction however between man and women is just too western minded and culturally impossible. Also what nerved me in this story was that Jacob is portrayed as an unforgiving nasty old man who acts cold and heartless towards his daughter Dina. This is an insult to the real meek person of Jacob who is a type of the Messiah. Book is quite boring at points and just not trustworthy, as the women here are the “saviours” of Job. Not recommended at all.

Beautiful imagination with a basis in biblical truth. Best narrator I have heard yet. Every voice was distinctive. Characters came to life. I did have to go back and review the line of Isaiah to gain a better grasp of the relatives. I will read this book again. Phenomenal.

Great Narrator and Mesu Andrews is excellent
The best part of this book is the short excerpts or quotes from the Bible regarding Job and his family. It combines Fiction with non-Fiction, but makes the book of Job come alive- I almost ask myself why there hasn’t been more attempts like this one by other authors to break down Job’s humanity. Ms. Andrews does a wonderful and convincing job.

If you love bible stories and want to hear about the Old Testament this is a great book to help you reimagine what life would have been like in those days! The author has done a lot of research and has really taken these stories to great but very believable depths! Thought the narrator was good! Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Another dimension to Job’s life
A well researched and written story. The author has written with heart & depth, drawing on the strengths and weaknesses of the various people, to bring the Biblical account of Job alive in a way I’ve never read it before. Although it was a little slow to start with, it soon riveted my attention and became very hard to put down. This is the first book I’ve read by Mesu Andrews, but she has now become a favourite author and I am looking forward to starting another of her books.
