The soldier heaved me over his shoulder as if I were a spring lamb.
“I am not Israelite!” I screamed.
I beat his back, hurting my hands. “Let me go.”
Adara has always longed to do the things that well-brought-up girls of her time are not supposed to do. She wants to learn to read and write — like men. And she wants the freedom to travel — like men — outside the boundaries of her sheltered life.

I read this book aloud to my kids during our studies of the Ancient World, using the Beautiful Feet Books Intermediate program. Although the plot is a bit predictable at times, the writing moves along well and I was pleased to see this book bring together two stories from the bible: Elijah and the widow who helped him survive with oil and flour, and General Naaman’s miraculous healing due to the slave girl’s suggestion, both in a very clever way. My children recognized these references when we came upon them in the book, making both our bible and history reading richer and meaningful.
