About this listen
When her father and sister are killed, a distant relative invites Salome and her mother to live with his family in Jerusalem. Quickly betrothed to a pagan prince half her age, Salome questions God's plan. But when she suddenly finds herself being crowned queen of Judea, she learns that a woman committed to God can change the world.
Born in the small village of Modein, a town made famous by the warrior Maccabees, Salome Alexandra knows better than to harbor grand dreams for her future. She pales in comparison to her beautiful older sister, and though she learns to read at an early age, girls are not valued for their intellectual ability. But when her father and sister are killed, John Hyrcanus, a distant relative, invites Salome and her mother to live with his family in Jerusalem, where her thirst for knowledge is noticed and indulged.
When her guardian betroths her to a pagan prince, she questions HaShem's plan. When Hyrcanus finally marries her to a boy half her age, she questions her guardian's sanity. But though Salome spends much of her life as a pawn ordered about by powerful men, she learns that a woman committed to HaShem can change the world.

Beautiful rendition of one of Israel’s queens
The story was beautifully written and narrated. Angela Hunt is a wonderful author and Rachel botchan and Leila buck always beings the words alive. I am left thinking I need to follow the lord more closely and strive to be who he designed me to be.

What a wonderful story and it was true
Angela Hunt really knows her biblical history. I’m so impressed. Even though this story did get a little bogged down in historical facts it still showed the incredible rise of one of Jerusalem’s Queens and her fire to always be righteous and correct before Adoni.
