Overview
Upright in Heart is book 4 in the Women of the Psalms Biblical Fiction series.
Corruption is rife throughout Israel. To survive, young widow Michal must make a deal with Reuben, a wealthy landowner, and put up her family's small plot of land as collateral. But when she cannot pay, Reuben tricks her into signing another loan—this time with her son as assurance.
When Reuben's scribe, Tavi, realizes the injustice, he struggles to find a way to defend Michal without putting his own widowed mother and younger sister at risk. He and Michal take a dangerous journey to Jerusalem to plead her case with the priests, only to discover that there is treachery within the temple and no one is willing to help.
Time is running out for Michal, and her faith in God's power is put to the test. Michal and Tavi must find the evidence they need if they are to save the ones they love.
