Chosen, The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther

Chosen, The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther by Ginger Garrett is the first book in a series that she plans to write called," The Lost Loves of the Bible" This will include stories about Jezebel and Delilah. The author feels that their stories have been overlooked and need to be told. I mention this (upcoming?) series only because I was so impressed with the amount of historical background that this writer has included in her book of fiction. The author portrays the life of Esther from being a common peasant orphan girl through her life in the palace to the end when the soldiers are coming for her after King Xerxes' murder. To build her character-type, her religion and resourcefulness are skilfully intertwined throughout the story. As you enjoy this book, look for the number of unique ways that this author has used to include the meaning of "CHOSEN". Quite possibly I am biased because Queen Esther has always been my favourite Bible story, but this is also one of the best Christian fiction books I have read.
