Book Summary 
160 B.C. A new king and a time of transition and upheaval in the kingdom of Lehi-Nephi. A young Hebrew girl, renowned for her beauty, becomes the ultimate prize of two of the priests of the evil King Noah. Oren, wicked like his king, and Alma, young and idealistic. To choose Alma, as her heart dictates, means to abandon her life of wealth and ease. Can Deborah make a choice that will impact, not only her but her entire family? And where will she and her wandering prophet make a home?

My Review 
 This novel is another great addition to this series based on people from the Book of Mormon. The women are the ones that are highlighted in this series. For me, I really like to read novels where we get to imagine how their lives were because in the actual book it's usually the men we only read about.

I love the character of Deborah. She is humble, kind, and courageous. It was also great to "get to know" Alma and Helam better through their characterization in this novel. The story of Abinadi in wicked King Noah's court was chilling even more so than reading the actual account. Diane has a wonderful way of bringing to life the stories of The Book of Mormon. This whole series has been a great read. This book, even though it's the 3td in the series, can be read as a stand-alone. I do recommend reading all of them to get the rich experience of the women from the Book of Mormon.
