The Prophet’s Songbird

The Prophet's Songbird: Atarah's Story is the 15th book in the Ordinary Women of the Bible fiction series.

With a prophet for a father and a professional mourner for a mother, Atarah has always known the power of words and of song. But her joyful praises are silenced when she is captured in a Syrian raid along with Tavi, a young man who loses his freedom trying to protect her. However, in Damascus, Atarah soon discovers that their new master, Naaman, isn't the monster she expected-and that her songs glorifying the Most High have a profound effect on his household.

When Naaman shows signs of leprosy, which could spell the end of his career and destroy his family, Atarah tells him of a prophet in Israel who could banish the disease with a word. Though Naaman's enemies hope for the worst, Atarah trusts he will encounter the power of the Most High. But by faithfully serving a master who serves Israel's enemy, has she cut herself off from her people forever? Or will the One True God use her to teach a new song of praise to His children?
