Four years later, the people of Jerusalem are starving, the Temple is burning, and the man who saves her life is a Roman — the enemy. Rebel Daughter is Esther’s story, drawn from the ancient historian Josephus’s first-hand account of the siege, the archaeological remains of the Second Temple, and a 2,000-year-old gravestone in southern Italy that proved an impossible story to be true. For readers of The Red Tent, The Dovekeepers, and Francine Rivers’ A Voice in the Wind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/5ab16987-d7e1-4a64-8b31-580f80eca3f9/3d+book.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lorikaufmann.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2021-07-20 https://www.lorikaufmann.com/about daily 0.75 2026-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1606810852602-INLXKG3DQE1DZCXCFLUQ/Lori+Banov+Kaufmann.jpg About Lori photo by Cathy Raff https://www.lorikaufmann.com/olive-and-mint-tapenade daily 0.75 2021-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1609238339058-LXXPUKKOXY0IGBRL2UIP/Olive+and+Mint+Tapenade.jpg Olive and Mint Tapenade https://www.lorikaufmann.com/curried-red-lentil-soup-with-fresh-lemon daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1627803909289-QW5ILPSR1FF6JM0HPW7I/1.jpg Curried Red Lentil Soup with Fresh Lemon https://www.lorikaufmann.com/multi-seeded-crackers daily 0.75 2021-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1609238375075-DQZXBHF2PEVECS8MO4I0/crackers.jpg Multi-seeded Crackers https://www.lorikaufmann.com/pr-kit daily 0.75 2021-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1606810852602-INLXKG3DQE1DZCXCFLUQ/Lori+Banov+Kaufmann.jpg PR kit Lori Banov Kaufmann - Author https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1610899116554-XSCVDK1Y7D2K5TT2WIQ9/9780593125816_ae77c.jpg PR kit Rebel Daughter Book Cover https://www.lorikaufmann.com/event-contact-form daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://www.lorikaufmann.com/discussion-guide daily 0.75 2021-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed6638d7fc9d51bbc0949e0/1626772579232-FUYGAI1WEDI3WAE5XEZH/love+in+1st+c+Jerusalem+fb.png Discussion Guide - I’d love to zoom in to your book club!
