-- Praise for "J" --

"If I had to sum up Mary F. Burns’ literary historical novel J: The Woman Who Wrote the Bible in three words, they would be:  original, thought-provoking, and mesmerizing. Burns imagines a rich and captivating life for the woman scholar J [Janaia] who lived in the Solomonic Courts…Janaia is an instantly likable character and the world she lives in is beautifully brought to life. Whether or not you're familiar with the stories of King David and King Solomon, the intrigue and drama are sure to sweep you away…The Woman Who Wrote the Bible is an unbelievably interesting and at times heart wrenching story, and one that should not be missed."
