Book Club | Harvest of Rubies by Tessa Afshar

Hey Gems!!! Book club is back in action for this month! 
I am so excited to be back in action with you all for the year. I've missed doing book club, but now I'm expanding it for all platforms (YouTube, Facebook, IG and the blog). I pray that we all can grow together and be edified as we dive into a selection of biblical fiction, Christian fiction and non-fiction books.

From February 12th to April 9th, 2021 we will be diving into a Tessa Afshar novel...of course I just had to do it. Keep reading for a synopsis, reading schedule and more...

Title: Harvest of Rubies
Author: Tessa Afshar
Series: Harvest of Rubies #1
Age: Adult
Genres: Biblical Fiction, Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction, Romance
Publication Date: May 1, 2012
Publisher: River North
Purchase: Paperback | Kindle | Audible | Christian Book | Scribd Audio | Scribd Ebook (get 2 free months with Scribd when you use my code)
Synopsis:
The prophet Nehemiah's cousin has been catapulted into the center of the Persian court—working long hours, rubbing elbows with royalty, and becoming the queen's favorite scribe.

Not bad, for a woman living in a man's world. But a devastating past has left Sarah believing that God doesn't love her and her achievements are the measure of her worth—a measure she can never quite live up to.

Darius Pasargadae is accustomed to having his way. A wealthy and admired aristocrat, the last thing he expects is an arranged marriage to the queen's scribe, an intelligent woman who scorns him.

Can two such different people help one another overcome the idols that bind them?
Let's talk about how book club will operate

Below is the reading schedule to help you get through the book. Keep in mind you can read as fast or slow as you desire or need to. There is no rush. The schedule is just to help us stay in the book for two and a half months.
To save right click (computer) or long press (mobile).
Now that we got the reading schedule and basic info out of the way, let's talk about other important dates that go along with this...
