"Haven of Rest"  by Faith Blum is book 4 in the "Tales of the East" series.  It can be read as a standalone. This is a story of how Adah, King David's daughter is neglected by him.  She comes up with a plan to make him noticed them but it doesn't work out. Why, you might be asking, but, you know I can't tell. I hope you read this book so you can find out for yourself.

This is a short story that fast readers could probably finish while waiting in a dr's office or a while reading in a car. I throughly enjoyed this story and plan on reading the other books in the series. I was pulled into the story from the first word to the last one.  Once, I finished the book, I wanted to read more.

This is a story of how disappointments and fear lead Adah to turn to her heavenly Father.

I recommend this to all readers who want to read something short based on the way it could of happened to Biblical characters.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

More from Faith

The Haven of Rest was inspired by a friend. I wanted another fairy tale to retelling for my series, but had run out of ideas and she mentioned the 12 Dancing Princesses and how the 12 girls could be 12 daughters of King David. It took a little while, but the idea soon grew into this story.
I do take liberties throughout the story. It is a Biblical Fiction story, and I tried hard to keep to those roots and keep it accurate throughout, including for the betrothals and weddings. However, a few liberties I took were:

• Giving King David more daughters than are mentioned. I did have Tamar be one of the daughters.
• Creating a backstory for Amnon’s obsession with Tamar.
• Showing that King David was a flawed man who was not a good father. Although this isn’t stated outright in the Bible, it is definitely implied by the rebellion three of his sons showed and his lax discipline of Amnon after his rape of Tamar.
• The other liberty I took is a spoiler for the end of the book, so you will have to read the book to find out what that was. I do explain my reasoning of that one in the Historical Note at the end of the book.

I really enjoyed writing this story and hope you enjoy reading it!
