Written by H. Rider Haggard this is a historical fiction about a young lady who grows to maturity during a tumultuous time in Israel. She is a Jewish Christian whose parents have died, brought up my her mother's slave Nuhushta. Although a tad slow in the first few chapters, the rest of the book is like a rollar coaster ride. She is a maiden of great character; I love her example of dignity, grace and forgivness. She makes many friends and enemies along the way. It is so interesting to see her grow and mature through her different trials. I love this book for its action/adventure and the great example Miriam sets for me. There are some harsh scenes described in the book, so I would not suggest it for young readers.
