Harvest of Gold / Tessa Afshar

In Harvest of Gold (Book 2) the scribe Sarah married Darius,
and at times she feels as if she has married the Persian aristocracy, too. There
is another point she did not count on in her marriage-Sarah has grown to love her
husband. Sarah has wealth, property, honor, and power, but her husband's love still
seems unattainable.

Although his mother was an Israelite, Darius remains
skeptical that his Jewish wife is the right choice for him, particularly when she
conspires with her cousin Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Ordered to
assist in the effort, the couple begins a journey to the homeland of his mother's
people. Will the road filled with danger, conflict, and surprising memories, help
Darius to see the hand of God at work in his life-and even in his marriage?

A
hidden message, treachery, opposition, and a God-given success, will lead to an
unlikely bounty.
