The Curse

About the Book

Though the prophet Samuel has placed a curse on the house of Saul, life continues quite normally. So normally that Prince Jonathan’s waning hope of living a long life with his beloved wife, Sarah, begins to revive. When Saul’s Captain, Abner, hires a lad to play his harp, hoping only that the kid’s music might soothe the king’s worsening temperament, hardly anyone pays any attention. The child’s face is ruddy from too much sun and wind, his hands smooth. His hair may look like a torch in the sunlight, but he is definitely not a warrior. Only God, the prophet, and the kid himself know the truth… until the battle in the valley of Elah.

About the Author

Tucked away as she is in the scenic Sierra Nevada Mountains of Mariposa California, life has been mostly pleasant for Mary. She is married to a man she loves; has two sons who have given her no cause to worry; and now has three beautiful granddaughters reaching the age of maturity who have followed in their parent’s footsteps. Yet, even in the midst of all these blessings, Mary knows what it is to have life crash about her ears. The Curse is the third in a series of six Biblical novels Mary has written about one of the least talked about yet most notable princes in the Bible. A once living, breathing, person, who left us an example of how to get up and walk on for the number of years that God has given to us.
