Publisher's summary

The prophet Nehemiah's cousin can speak numerous languages, keep complex accounts, write on rolls of parchment and tablets of clay, and solve great mysteries. There is only one problem: She's a woman in a man's court.

In her early childhood years, Sarah experienced the death of her mother and her father's subsequent emotional distance, and she came to two conclusions: God does not care about me, and my accomplishments are the measure of my worth.

Catapulted into the center of the Persian court, Sarah is working too many hours, rubbing elbows with royalty, and solving intrigues for the Queen. Ironically, it isn't failure—but success—that causes Sarah to lose her only source of external validation.

Sarah soon learns that she has something of worth to offer beyond her ability with languages and sums; her very being proves to be a blessing to others, particularly the aristocrat Darius, whom she is given to in marriage.

Sarah and Darius' story continues in Harvest of Gold. Darius may be able to learn to love his wife, but can he ever learn to trust Sarah and her Lord?

The gentle character qualities of Sarah

The historical and biblical elements of the story made the story most intriguing. the scriptures from the psalms enhanced the emotion of the story, and made it difficult to step away from. I loved the intertwining of scripture into the story; it is the path to live an abundant life then, as it is now!

I love the way the author incorporates scripture into her narrative.

This particular story was of a time that I had very little knowledge of, she opens up that time and draws you in. I am really looking forward to her next book.

Loved this book!

The narrator was excellent. I liked that. The storyline was different, and I felt like I was learning some thing as I went. It was amazing how she tied it all together.

God’s Love is Faithful

Great story line. How she brought out the love of the Father with the Gardner and vine dresser was great. Looking forward to the next book!

Glad this is a series!

I felt so many emotions while listening to this storyline: I left it each time eager for an excuse to get back to it. Sara and Darius are left in my lingering thoughts throughout the day.
