Isaiah's Daughter (Prophets and Kings #1) by Mesu Andrews

Book Description...

"In this epic Biblical narrative, ideal for fans of The Bible miniseries, a young woman taken into the prophet Isaiah's household rises to capture the heart of the future king.

Isaiah adopts Ishma, giving her a new name--Zibah, delight of the Lord--thereby ensuring her royal pedigree. Ishma came to the prophet's home, devastated after watching her family destroyed and living as a captive. But as the years pass, Zibah's lively spirit wins Prince Hezekiah's favor, a boy determined to rebuild the kingdom his father has nearly destroyed. But loving this man will awake in her all the fears and pain of her past and she must turn to the only One who can give life, calm her fears, and deliver a nation.

"Isaiah's Daughter"(Prophets and Kings #1)  by Mesu Andrews 

My Thoughts....

What a read that was of a young woman who had been the prophet of Isaiah's home and captures the heart of the future King Hezekiah.  Even though this was a fictional read in part this author did a wonderful job through Ishma's eyes one is made to see and understand the experience of life that happened in 732 BC Judah. 

I enjoyed how well this author was able to give the reader quite a research on biblical and historical facts for this read.  The reader will definite get a well written overall story that will keep you turning the pages to see what's coming next.  I loved the characters from Isaiah, Aya, Hezekiah, Ishma and her friend Yaira.  

This story will definitely be one of many emotions that will keep you turning the pages to see what you will find such as many scriptural  quotes, a marriage [between Zibah & Hezi]  that wasn't easy all the time, and with many Biblical characters that made this read seem to come alive. Indeed this was a good story of Hephzibah and Hezekiah when 'their faith failed them but then rejoiced with them when God rewarded them for their faithfulness.'

This author really brings to life this beautiful enjoyable read that give the readers a good  tale of life in the Biblical times.
