Description
Tumultuous change is in the air, and life-changing ideas are about to be born . . .
Meet Dina, a slave and weaver in the court of Egyptian royalty circa 1320 BCE. She is about to face the hardest decision of her life: remain a weaver in the Queen's favor, or follow her faith to a different life . . .
1,500 years later, meet Mattan, about to strike out on his own in search of a life beyond the Romans' oppressive rule. He too will change forever once he joins forces with an old trickster in Galilee.
And, finally, in 622 CE, meet Fallah, a Bedouin boy who flees from his desert home to break out of the grip of the blood feud that killed his father. Are he and his brother condemned to live as outsiders?
Get lost in these expertly recreated stories about what life might have been like for young people living in the times of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, three of the world's most important figures.
