Overview
A Steadfast Spirit is book 2 in the Women of the Psalms Biblical Fiction series.
It has been ten years since Zemira was taken as an Israelite slave from her home of Moab, but she still remembers the brutal way her family was stolen from her. She still remembers the man responsible. She still remembers that she will never truly belong in the land of Judah.
Zemira never expected to form a friendship with her mistress, Bathsheba. And even though she is just a slave, Zemira knows Bathsheba cares for her and will do right by her. When Zemira meets Yosef, a man who composes beautiful songs and sings them while worshipping at the Tabernacle, she finds her heart softening toward Adonai. Is she starting to understand what Bathsheba and Yosef have been trying to tell her? Just when it seems she has finally come to the place where she can forgive the man who wronged her and her family, King David makes a series of decisions that hurts those Zemira has come to love. Zemira can't help but question Adonai once more. Will her spirit finally break? Or will she find the strength to trust in Adonai the way Bathsheba and Yosef do?

Despite a long road to publication, she hasn't stopped writing since!
