In ancient Persia, a Jewish orphan named Hadassah is swept from obscurity into the glittering halls of the royal palace. Chosen as queen and renamed Esther, she soon discovers that her crown carries a burden far greater than luxury or honor. When a decree of death threatens her people, Esther must summon the courage to risk her life before the king. Guided by her cousin Mordecai's wisdom and strengthened by the God of Israel, she learns that her place in history was no accident-she was born for such a time as this. Blending biblical truth with rich historical detail, Esther: A Novel is a story of faith, sacrifice, and God's unfailing providence. Perfect for readers of biblical fiction and Christian historical novels, it will remind you that no life is too small for His great plan.
