Isaiah's Daughter is the first book of Mesu Andrews that I've read. I really enjoyed it! Andrews was able to take the reader through so many historic moments through different eyes—this time through King Hezekiah's Queen.
While my favorite retelling of this story is Lynn Austin's series The Restoration Chronicles and Chronicles of the Kings, I thought that Andrews did an amazing job. Her attention, not only to literary detail (and an enthralling story!) but also to historical/cultural accuracy (even more important in a Biblical retelling) is impressive.
I think what I loved most of this story is that it is about a time in Israel's history that isn't as commonly known, but there's so much incredible truth about God and his power there. It makes me want to go back and re-read those accounts in the Bible—which is the best compliment I can give any book. Any story that points me back to the truth of God's Word needs to be shared!
I loved this story, and cannot wait to read another of Andrews books. To purchase it, click here!
