But when a rabbi’s missing body sends Leah and Alban after the same answers, what they discover could change all they hold dear.

Story
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.
Publisher's Summary
Three-time Christy Award winner Davis Bunn collaborates with the beloved Janette Oke to evoke the spirit of the original followers of the Way. In a first-century Jerusalem seething with turmoil, religious and political leaders eye the burgeoning Christian community with suspicion. While a Hebrew merchant and a Roman soldier vie for the hand of a lovely follower of Christ, she finds her heart drawn to another whose tireless care and unflinching faith shine daily.

wonderful Biblical historic fiction
you can tell the author did a lot of research on this not only in the Bible but another historical books that are available during the Bible days. It brought so much to light and life in this period of time. nowhere does the bible say that Steven was married but that's the historical part of it and that's what makes the read even more wonderful. it's not a sexually explicit book thank heavens it is a beautiful beautifully done story of the early church.

Disappointed!
I do not like how this ended and I really despise the fact that you are almost forced to buy this short book 2 because book 1 leave you in suspense!! I hardly EVER buy Short books. This is totally not right and not fair. I hope you read this review before you start book 1🤭 However, the story is very interesting especially since I know the Bible story already.
