Description
As she attempts to recover from the brutality of her rape, the beautiful and gifted young Israelite, Naamah, finds herself ripped from the family she loves and brought into the harem of King David. There, she is forced to use her musical gift of song and composition while navigating the life of a concubine among powerful men, slaves, wives, and other concubines. Naamah must also face the terror that the king may discover her "secret," which would lead to her execution. Through the eyes of Naamah and Reuel, the son of one of the King's advisors who has his own unique gifts of value to King David, the reader will live the tumultuous final years of David's reign: his adultery with Bathsheba; Amnon and Tamar; Absalom's rebellion; Census and plague; Adonijah's rivalry with Solomon. As the years pass, can Naamah keep her own dangerous secret safe, or will palace intrigue ultimately betray her? Can the sisterhood of the harem ever replace a family of her own? Will she ever know life other than as a powerful man's personal possession? Throughout, Naamah's songs of heartbreak and praise and King David's own cries to Yahweh recorded in the book of Psalms interweave an exquisite harmony of hope and redemption and lead to healing and love in the miraculous way only Yahweh can create.
