The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body. The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. -King Solomon
A novel about a young woman who is kidnapped and kept in a 12x12-foot shed as a slave for seven years. The story is told from the viewpoint of her child born in captivity. A bit disturbing, but not as much as one might expect.
