Wings Like a Dove: The Courage of Queen Jeanne d'Albret

 by Christine Farenhorst

Wings Like a Dove is a story based on the life of reformed Queen during a time when being reformed meant losing your life. Jeanne d’Albret, born in 1528, is the only daughter of the King and Queen of Navarre. Standing with her beloved Huguenots, Jeanne steps onto the battlefield of history during the tumultuous years of the Reformation (1517–1559). As deadly political events swirl around her tiny Kingdom of Navarre, Queen Jeanne is forced to choose: Will she hide the fleeing Huguenots under the very nose of Catherine de Medicis’s henchmen or save her own life? My daughter, Monica (age 13), said this about Wings Like a Dove: "I thought this was a really good book.  It was exciting and interesting.  Jeanne was a very mischievous girl as a child, and I enjoyed reading about her mischievous schemes.  At the end it's more about her marriage and family.  It was romantic, yet sad.  My advice:  Don't give up on this book.  At first it was hard to read it, but when I got into it, I couldn't put the book down!" The Chosen Daughters series highlights the lives of ordinary women who by God's grace accomplish extraordinary things.
