About the book: An inspiring re-imagining of the tale of Esther, a young Jewish woman thrust from a life of obscurity into a life of power, wealth, intrigue . . . and tender love.
See the story of Esther in an entirely new way-with all the political intrigue and tension you remember, but told as a passionate and tender love story between a young man and woman. Misunderstood by many, King Xerxes was a powerful but lonely man. Esther's beauty caught the eye of the young king, but it was her spirit that captured his heart.
Imagine anew the story of Esther, one of our faith's great heroines, destined to play a key role in the history of Christianity. More here.

My Review:
I was captivated by this amazing historical fiction book about Esther. I have not read the entire book of Esther before, but I knew the basic story line. This brought it to life! It was a great romantic story of a girl forced to become a man's wife to try to save her people but through it all she was falling in love with him. It was wonderful to watch the characters come to life, first Esther who was so happy in her life as a Jewish girl, then having to change everything to become a Persian woman. She influenced so many people, touched the lives of those "below" her and really cared about them. After reading The Reluctant Queen, I sat down and read the book of Esther. It was amazing to see how God could, and has many times, used a woman (who were pretty low on the status pole) to save His people and influence those in authority. I look forward to reading more of Joan's books (she is working on a Rahab story next!).
