Summary:
Thirteen-year-old Elisha lives in a village near Shechem in the Land of Canaan in ancient Israel. She wants to be like other girls but is unmarried, speaks to an angel, and composes and sings her own songs—a pursuit her parents disapprove of. When she tells the village women to stand up for themselves, the men are outraged he tribe banishes her.
After journeying alone through the desert, escaping bandits, wild animals, and men who would sell her as a servant, Elisha makes it to Jerusalem, where the angel guides her to study with Abraham and Sarah. She learns much including reading and writing, and Abraham even gives her Doron, his servant, to accompany her as she sings her songs throughout the country. Doron becomes her lover and her songs are well accepted—until she sings one about equality for women.
Mountain of Full Moons explores how we overcome our fears, go out into the world, and gain the courage to speak up and be whom we choose to be.
Review:
What a different book! Unlike at story I have ever read! Irene Kessler brings us back thousands of years to to the Ancient Land of Canaan and Jerusalem.
Her protagonist, Elisha is an intensely strong-willed and determined girl that I was rooting for through the entire story. Her village and family banished her because of something she believed in and stood up for!
This is the tale where following your Guardian Angel, and trusting your inner soul, you remember to stay true to inner self!
“Mountain of Full Moons” dares to teach us females lessons from way back in ancient times, all while watching a young lady try to deliver the message through song!!
I absolutely found the power and strength in this story!
I received a copy of this book from the author and GET RED PR in exchange for a fair and honest review.
4.5 Stars.
