As a mother myself, the thought of my young teen son held captive in a foreign land makes my heart sick. I've read Daniel in the past, but never thought of his mother or the fear that must have welled up within both of them. I had a locket similar to hers. I could even feel mine as I read the author's description of it. I love how the author took me within the walls of that palace and showed me the cold, yet broken heart of Ashpenaz. Once again, this author weaves scripture with fiction in a way that beckons you into the Bible.
Great read!!
