Bundle of three Forgotten Tales Christian novellas by Summer Lee, including: THE MAID FROM MOAB Thousands of years ago, Elimelech, his wife, Naomi, and their two sons flee Bethlehem's famine when they move to Moab. When Elimelech dies, Naomi encourages her sons to marry local women. Unexpectedly, her sons die, too. Now, Naomi and her childless daughters-in-law must fend for themselves. Quickly becoming destitute, Naomi announces her return to Bethlehem -- she tells the daughters-in-law to return to their own families and seek new husbands. Orpah leaves. However, Ruth won't forsake Naomi. Wherever Naomi goes, Ruth will go, too. While gleaning grain, Ruth catches the eye of Boaz, a wealthy landowner. When Naomi realizes who he is, she figures out a way that Ruth may be able to marry him. However, there's a serious obstacle to the couple's future -- one that could prove to be their undoing. As Ruth falls in love with Boaz, she seeks God's will, even as her woman's heart cries out for fulfillment. She also worries about what will become of her beloved mother-in-law. Will Ruth be allowed to marry the man she loves and still keep Naomi by her side? A LOVE FOR SOLOMON Thousands of years ago, Abishag, a farmer's daughter, leaves her home and family in Sulam to become a handmaiden to King David. Even while she serves the wise and fatherly king, she yearns for romance and marriage. Then, when King David dies, instead of remaining in the royal harem, Abishag returns to Sulam -- but she soon realizes it was a mistake to go home. In despair, she knows of only one safe place to flee: the king's palace. Back at the palace, she unexpectedly finds favor in Solomon's eyes -- he's a man she's long admired and desired. But another powerful man wants her, too. And both men want the throne... When their passions rise, and with the eyes of Israel upon them, can a common country girl even hope to match wits and words of love with a learned, poetic king? A HOME FOR HAVA Thousands of years ago, Israel was ruled by judges during a turbulent time when the people of Israel strayed from God into idolatry and other beliefs. Jephthah was one of Israel's judges... and one of God's faithful. Jephthah, a protector of local villages, makes a vow to the Lord before a battle with the Ammonites: if he and his warriors emerge triumphant, he will make a burnt offering of the first thing he sees when he returns home. Jephthah initially expects that the sacrifice will be livestock, but when he returns from battle, his beautiful, devout daughter, Hava, is the first to greet him. And now, the heartbroken man tells his daughter that she must die. Hava agrees, but begs for a two-month delay of her sacrifice, during which time she will weep in the mountains. As the day approaches, will Jephthah's precious daughter, Hava, be sacrificed to ensure that he stays true to his promise to God?
