very good and enjoyable read of the story of Queen Esther
Hadassah has been chosen to be one of the candidates to be the King's next wife and queen. But Hadassah is faced with trials along the way and lots of competition. Can she escape the plots, threats and traps to become one of the favorites? But also, so as not to reveal her hebrew heritage, she changes her name to Star. Star of Susa. On her night with the King, she finds he really isn't quite as lordly as some make him out to be. She gives him a gift: a necklace with a Star of David on it to remind him of her. This gift was her ticket: she broke the tension and the king favored her out of any other candidate. He chose Star, changes her name to the Persian word for East Star, Esther, and makes her his Queen.
I really loved this book! I really recommend it! My favorite genre to read is Biblical Fiction. I am so interested in learning about Bible times. It helps me in my Faith.
