How does a virtuous young woman who is one of God’s own chosen people deal with an undesirable future determined by the plans of a tyrant?
Hadassah knows glorious promises that fill the scriptures. She knows the history of God’s deliverance and power to those who are His. But now she is abducted and trafficked into a pagan palace and society. Her future looms as shattered dreams and no hope for recovery becomes her life. Where is the God of Israel?
This historical novel based on the Bible’s book of Esther explores her battle with faith when reality seems to contradict scriptural promises, and when the most evil of circumstances are forced upon innocent, virtuous young woman.
The Hidden Star of Yehudah is not written as a romance novel, but rather to inspire believers in God to trust Him when faced with the plot of the enemy to belittle faith, shatter hope, destroy lives, and the wonderful future promised by God to His own.
It is written to be appropriate for teens and adults and useful for a study group on the book of Esther.
