Summary: Adara: by Beatrice Gormley
Review: .
The soldier heaved me over his shoulder as if i were a spring lamb - I screamed - I beat his back, hurting my hands. "Let me go."

Adara was in the wrong place at the wrong time and before she knew it she was a slave. Brought up in the weathest family in her village she was now lower than the sevants that had looked after her all her life. This is the story of how she was brought thousands of kilometers from her home and family as a slave to a new and unknown world. It is a story of faith and trust in God and in what her can do.
The book is aimed at teens and relates to the bible passage 2 Kings chapter 5 and the healing of Naaman in the Jordan river.
This is a great book and certainly a worth-while read!

Summary: A novelization of an Old Testament story.
Review: Adara, is a mistreated slave girl. In this story, she convinces her master, the mighty Syrian general, Naaman,who captured her from her homeland, to seek a cure from his leprosy from the prophet Elisha.
I like this story because it's about a young girl, who finds herself special, in this retelling of the origonal story.
