Mountain of Full Moons

By Irene Kessler

Thirteen-year-old Elisha lives in a village near Shechem in the Land of
Canaan in ancient Palestine. She wants to be like other girls but is
unmarried, speaks to an angel, and composes and sings her own songs--a
pursuit her parents disapprove of. When she tells the village women to
stand up for themselves, the men are outraged he tribe banishes her.

After journeying alone through the desert, escaping bandits, wild
animals, and men who would sell her as a servant, Elisha makes it to
Jerusalem, where the angel guides her to study with Abraham and Sarah.
She learns much including reading and writing, and Abraham even gives
her Doron, his servant, to accompany her as she sings her songs
throughout the country. Doron becomes her lover and her songs are well
accepted--until she sings one about equality for women.

Mountain of Full Moons explores how we overcome our fears, go out into the world, and gain the courage to speak up and be whom we choose to be.
