One day she awakens to a blast of trumpets as the Israelites and Arameans battle just outside the safety of her village walls. Curious, Adara sneaks out to see the battle. Little does she know that this will be her last day of freedom for a very long time.

Sold into slavery, Adara becomes a servant to General Namaan and his family and begins a remarkable journey of self-discovery, healing, and redemption a journey that, in the end, faces herwith the hardest decision of her life . . .

This book tells the living account of a girl who was captured by a soldier and made into a slave in Naaman's house. The book is very good, it helped me understand that slaves dont' always experience what you think. Life was very difficult for Adara but she responded very well. It helped me learn more about what General Naaman might have been like. I would recommend this if you enjoy reading historical books. (H-age 11)
