Authors: Tommy Tenney/Mark Andrew

Hadassah
An action/adventure full of political intrigue and suspense, with a new perspective on a historical figure you may think you already know! Both a palace thriller and a Jewish woman's memoir. Hadassah brings the story of Esther to life. This historically accurate novel layered with fresh insights provides a fascinating twist on a pivotal time in religious history, bursting with page-turning drama. During in-depth research on the life of Esther and its setting in ancient Persia--contemporary Iraq and Iran--Tenney discovered a compelling, heart-stopping tale lying at its core. He uses here his skilled storytelling gifts to capture the power and beauty of the peasant girl who becomes queen.

The Hadassah Covenant
The modern-day Hadassah, already introduced to readers, is the wife of Israel's Prime Minister. The inner pain she feels as her beloved land and people are terrorized by political strife is made even more personal as her own father comes under attack.
