Thirteen-year-old Bani, though born in Jerusalem, has lived from infancy
with his uncle in beautiful Susa, the city of the Persian King
Artaxerxes. Now, his Uncle Nehemiah wants to leave his position of high
honor as Cupbearer to the King to return to Jerusalem, a city in ruins
and beset by every kind of trouble! Nehemiah's request of the king,
permission to return to help his own people, could so easily—in an
empire riddled with political intrigue—be misconstrued as treasonous
scheming. Bani himself is given an unexpected part to play, the outcome
of which is to forever change his life. Seen through the eyes of Bani,
this novel dramatizes a turning-point of history, in 445 BC,
when—through confrontation and daring risks—Judaism was re-established
in the Promised Land, and purified for her unfolding mission.
