She is forced to make so many hard choices that I found myself wondering what I would do if I were in that position. I could completely empathize with Naiva, who has lost her mother, is largely ignored by her father, and is wanting that close sister relationship she's always had with Asherah. The relationship between the two sisters was exceptionally well done. Unfortunately, her plan relies a lot on Naiva's silence and presence which puts Naiva in danger more than once and causes Naiva to have to make a choice-her own happiness or her family. She wants her father's crown back, she wants to be queen, and she has thought of a cunning plan to do it. Her sister, Asherah, on the other hand has a lot of ambitions. She seems to want to have a normal, quiet existence. She is level-headed and doesn't have much ambition when it comes to being a royal queen or getting her father's crown back. We are introduced to our heroine, Naiva, the long-suffering second daughter of ousted King Jared. (I know it's just after Mother's day and I probably shouldn't admit that.) But I just had to see how it all ended! The story is from the Book of Mormon, but I think it can appeal to anyone.ĭaughters of Jared is a tightly woven Book of Mormon historical that honestly kept me in my comfy chair long after I should have been up making dinner and doing some other Mom-like things. I loved the message of hope and beginnings, even in tumultuous times. False idols and power will not sustain one in the end. The hope that comes with some living a life of righteousness and how God has the ultimate power.

It looks at how men can be lead astray when they make bad choices and seek to do evil. This book looks at the corruption of power. The warning of secret combinations and the power of them I have recognized and taken to heart. I have always read them and moved on, never thinking much about them. This book takes a couple of chapters from the Book of Ether in the Book of Mormon and expounds them into a story that gives me a better perspective how the events could have happened. I honestly sit here at my key board feeling the power of this story and trying to find the words to express my thoughts. 00:00:00.1220122/00:00:00509-C Coverdell Legislative Office Coverdell Legislative Office Bldg.30334 August 16GonzalezDeborahGonzalezAttorneyRobert337 S.
