What if freedom meant more than escaping captivity?

Born in the Persian city of Susa, thirteen-year-old Adira has never considered herself a slave—and she certainly doesn’t think of Jerusalem as home. Growing weary of her father’s devotion to a city she barely knows, Adira longs for a life of her own choosing.

But when her uncle, Nehemiah, receives an extraordinary calling from God, everything changes.

Leaving behind the only life she has ever known, Adira embarks on a journey filled with danger, uncertainty, and unexpected friendships. As enemies threaten and trials arise, she begins to discover that true freedom is found not in choosing her own path, but in trusting the God who guides it.

Through the eyes of a young girl searching for belonging, experience the courage of Nehemiah’s mission and the powerful lessons hidden along the rocky road to freedom.
