Kaylee's Review: A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers

A Voice in the Wind is a historical fiction novel, which is effortless to enjoy. Hadassah, a young woman of deep faith, is battling starvation and disease with her two siblings day-by-day in 117 A.D. Jerusalem. They know that it is only a matter of time before the Roman army destroys their entire race. Several months into these hardships, Jerusalem falls, and with their beloved city, the children's mother breathes her last. Days later, Soldiers shove down the family's door, and kills the girls brother, and takes the remaining two hostage. The next night, Leah, Hadassah's sister, dies. Even when she lost everything that mattered, Hadassah deepened her faith even more, and began to find joy in the small things of life, even though her situation was unbearable. After a long a tiresome journey to Rome, Hadassah is chosen to become a slave in a very wealthy home. There, she is exposed to the fullness, corruption, and passion, her new family, Rome, and anyone else, can offer her.
