In the 1950s, an abused, orphaned adolescent struggles for the strength to build a solid life with the help of his new adoptive family and the inspiration of the rock 'n' roll phenomenon sweeping the music world. In this unconventional first book, we are introduced to the McAlister family in a collection of vignettes forming the beginning of a patchwork that will, over the course of the series, form a complete picture of seven extraordinary young people and the time they grew up in.

How did Judaism become one of the world’s great ethical and religious systems? What is behind the ancient enmity between Iraq/Iran and the rest of the Near East? How can love transcend the barriers of class and sex, and the tumult of history? READ This is the tale of the fall of the First Temple and the Babylonian Exile—and the beginning of Judaism as a modern religion. It’s told by Aliyah, a slavewoman who knew kings, queens, and commoners, and whose life was intertwined with that of the greatest prophet of her time: Jeremiah. • Mary Rosenbaum writes with elegance and with verve. Her retelling of Jeremiah’s dramatic story was as suspenseful as it was enlightening – it kept even a sinner like myself turning the pages. Dirk Wittenborn, Fierce People • A fascinating look at the influence of women in the shaping of the biblical world and its society and politics through one woman’s story. Jan Pottker, Janet and Jackie: The Story of a Mother and Her Daughter, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Jezebel's Daughter eBook: Mary Helene Rosenbaum: Books
(Eighty years after the death of King Solomon, and more th...)
Eighty years after the death of King Solomon, and more than eight hundred years before Jesus, Queen Athaliah reigned in Jerusalem. The daughter of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Athaliah was the only woman in the Bible ever to reign as queen in her own right in Judah, the Southern Kingdom. The biblical texts, traditional commentators, and scholars all remember her—when they mention her at all—as a bloodthirsty tyrant. Yet a closer look gives a more complex picture, and this novel takes an unconventional view of a fascinating woman and her turbulent times. Jezebel’s Daughter explores the period when the worship, the politics, and the people of the land that gave us the world’s great monotheisms were in flux, and draws a portrait of the woman without whom the tides of history might have washed away their foundation. [A] fascinating tale, replete with ethnographic and historical details, of a strong and sensible woman in a male-dominant environment, navigating her way through palace intrigue and the cultural clash between Paganism and Yahwism.— Nehama Aschkenasy, Woman at the Window: Biblical Tales of Oppression and Escape and the award-winning Eve’s Journey: Feminist Images in Hebraic Literary Tradition Jezebel's Daughter kept me up very late last night. Just had to finish it, and am in awe of the work.… wonderful beyond words. There is hardly a character in the very long list of personalities that I didn't come to understand or sympathize with, or even hate; and the important ones seem always to be changing, evolving, and becoming more credible. Amazing!… [A]rt of the highest kind.— Prof. Jay Posey
