It is the heartfelt account of a sheikh who carries the burdens of his people gladly and of a woman who struggles with feelings of not measuring up. Not many stories have moved me like this one. This modern-day retelling of the Book of Esther was very well written. The Esther Paradigm is yet another moving story by Sarah Monzon.
In a society where the line is drawn between us and them, Christianity is outlawed, and foreigners are mistrusted, will their union heal wounds or inflict the final fatal blow? Karim must do something to keep them safe-even if the only solution can be found within marriage vows. When a mysterious illness ravishes the clan’s flocks and threatens to destroy their centuries-old way of life, locals believe the American doctors and their daughter, his childhood friend, Hannah, are to blame. Even if it costs her everything.Īs sheikh, Karim Al-Amir feels the weight of responsibility as the leader of his people. She must decide to what lengths she’ll go to stay faithful to the mission to which God has called her. As the danger escalates, Hannah finds she’s in the middle of a battle no one seems to understand. But shortly after she returns to the desert from her college years in the U.S., she discovers her parents have received threats from their Muslim neighbors. Hannah Pratt dreams of starting a school for the Bedouin clan she grew up with as a missionary kid, and finally her hopes are coming true. Need a reminder on the details of the challenge?
