It is the ancient days of the Persian Empire. Hadassah was content
in her quiet life in the Jewish quarter of the city of Babylon with
her uncle Mordecai, who had raised her from childhood. But she was
old enough to be married, and yet her uncle hadn't arranged a
marriage for her. Meanwhile in Shushan, King Ahasuerus' marriage to
the vain and selfish Vashti has ended, and a new wife must be
found. Why not bring to him the most beautiful women of the
kingdom, and let him choose? And so the loveliest young women of
the empire are selected in local contests, and Hadassah is among
those chosen to go to Shushan to meet the King. But as a Jewess in
a foreign land with powerful enemies to her faith, she must conceal
her true identity and take the Babylonian name of Esther. Will she
find love with a man she has never met? And can she survive in a
strict royal court controlled by the evil prime minister Haman, who
wants to destroy her people? Out of print for 40 years, this
special edition contains the original text of "Behold Your Queen "
in a large, trade size paperback, suitable for collecting.
