![]() ![]() The story sort of reminded me of the Biblical story of Esther. She becomes the main scribe to the queen. Sarah and Darius' story continues in Harvest of Gold. In Harvest of Rubies Tessa tells the story of Sarah Nehemiah's cousin who unlike most women of the time can read and write and speak many languages. Sarah soon learns that she has something of worth to offer beyond her ability with languages and sums her very being proves to be a blessing to others, particularly the aristocrat Darius, whom she is given to in marriage. Ironically, it isn't failure-but success-that causes Sarah to lose her only source of external validation. In her early childhood years, Sarah experienced the death of her mother and her father's subsequent emotional distance, and she came to two conclusions: God does not care about me, and my accomplishments are the measure of my worth.Ĭatapulted into the center of the Persian court, Sarah is working too many hours, rubbing elbows with royalty, and solving intrigues for the Queen. There is only one problem: She's a woman in a man's court. The prophet Nehemiah's cousin can speak numerous languages, keep complex accounts, write on rolls of parchment and tablets of clay, and solve great mysteries.
