" Excellent. I loved this story, for everything that it was and that it encouraged. Hadassah is one of my role models: her silent, calm obedience embodies everything that I am not, but wish I was. Her conciliation that she had faults, that she is broken, and that she needs God are inspirational; even though as an outsider, I felt that her "faults" were unfounded, she is amazing. Even the stories of the family, and Atretes were great, although Rivers fully utilizes their stories in later books. Historic, godly, and riveting. "
