As the sole daughter of the chief priest, Hannah is publicly shamed when the prophet of Israel refuses to heal her.
Determined to restore her family’s honor, Hannah escapes Jerusalem in hopes of finding the prophet and convincing him to restore her deformities. Gilead, a young Hebrew guard sympathetic to her plight, willingly accompanies her. On their way, they are captured by a band of raiders.
Hannah is forced to serve in the household of the commander of the Aramean army, an officer who is in need of healing himself. Meanwhile Gilead is being used as sword practice for the Aramean soldiers.
Hannah must act fast to save Gilead and herself. But survival means coaxing the prophet of Israel to heal an enemy commander.
Hannah's Journey was exciting right from the beginning. The characters from Old Testament times really came alive for me in this book. The pace was fast, the romance was engaging, and the author didn't shy away from some of the grittier aspects of the culture. Sometimes I find that Christian books are corny or too happy-go-lucky, and so I appreciated this more realistic tale of people facing temptation, graphic dealings with a man with leprosy, and moments of doubt.

To help her, she enlists the help of the only man who’s ever shown kindness to her. Like her father and brothers, Gilead respects the Law but realizes there are times when it needs to be ignored through need. It reminded me of the disciples picking grain on the Sabbath so they could eat. Providence is a nice romantic novel, with twists, turns, unexpected friends, and close to home enemies. It’s a mostly easy read but it is also brutal at times, with mentions of adultery, rape and sexual idolatry. Gil and other slaves are mistreated by their captors. The physically weak commander treats them slightl
