With her family destroyed, an orphaned Ishma enters the house of the prophet Isaiah as a captive, but he adopts the young woman and gives her a new name, Hephzibah, which means "delight of the Lord." She soon ends up stealing the heart of the future Israelite king Hezekiah, but life in the palace and her marriage are not easy. As war and strife run rampant through the land of Israel and still haunted by her past, Zibah fears an uncertain future. Faith in Yahweh seems to be the only way to ensure peace, endure hardship, and develop the strength to forgive. Narrated by Zibah, this story is an emotional roller coaster that will keep readers engaged.
VERDICT Marked by precise historical detail, Andrews's (Miriam) sweeping and engrossing biblical saga will renew interest among Christian book groups in rereading the prophesies of Isaiah in the Old Testament.
