Babylon: a Novel of Jewish Captivity

A family saga spanning three generations of exile, Babylon: a novel of Jewish Captivity (Wicked Son, September 12, 2023) relates a little-known epoch of Jewish history.

Everything changes for Sarah the day Nebuchadnezzar’s army storms Jerusalem. In an instant, her peaceful life on the farm is ripped away: her city sacked, her temple desecrated, her people enslaved. Marched across unforgiving desert sands to Babylon, Sarah — and what remains of the Judean people — must find a way to keep their faith alive in a new and unforgiving home.

Displaced within an empire of strange gods and unimaginable wealth, Sarah and her descendants bear witness to palace intrigue, betrayal, brutal sacrifice, regicide, and a new war brewing in the east. Through every trial, the Hebrew people attempt to preserve their religion. Uri, Sarah’s son, works as a scribe, transcribing incredible stories of prophets and visions, Creation and Exodus… stories that establish the central tenets of the Hebrew faith.

The novel raises provocative questions about assimilation versus maintaining religious tradition, issues of intermarriage, the rights of property, the compiling of early Biblical stories, and the painful choices that contributed to the longevity of the Jewish people.
