"I've been a Joan Wolf fan for awhile. She's written historical fiction, romance, and mystery, as well as some contemporary novels. This is, as far as I know, her first Christian fiction, and I liked it very much. Her take on Esther's life and sacrifice for her people was inspiring and made for a quick-moving, entertaining story."

    " Very nicely written love story that was based somewhat on a Bible story. I enjoyed reading it as the book was nicely paced, written very well, and was not in any means crude or vulgar. The author did a great job of making you connect with the characters. Again - I really enjoyed it. "
