Produktbeschreibung
In the salty region of the Dead Sea, a careless stone toss revealed a collection of ancient scrolls, one of the greatest treasures of all time buried for nearly 2,000 years in the belly of the earth. For over fifty years, no scroll containing the book of Esther has come to the surface. Until now. Maylee Tayten doesn't live in Israel. She didn't know the Dead Sea or a place called Qumran even existed. But, as they say, knowledge is power--and that isn't always a good thing. Now, she has to try to protect herself and her friends from the watchful eyes of an unknown enemy that is constantly tracking their every move. Maylee will have to decide if bringing the truth to light is worth risking her own life and the lives of the people she loves the most.
Autorenporträt
Diamond Wilson is 28 years old and loves adventure. She ate a worm-burger and chicken feet in South America, backpacked through Europe, rescued a friend from arrest in Mexico (the federales were really very nice), had coffee with the French police, was kicked out of a train station in Italy for having feet on a chair, and spent an entire night on the beach in a thunderstorm in Spain. She has a favorite scarf that functions as a blanket, a swimsuit, a towel, (anything, really). She doesn't leave the house without at least three electronic devices, a protein bar, and her passport--because you never know where life might take you. Diamond loves s'mores, fancy cheese, dark chocolate, and strong coffee. She loves to cook for her family, especially her nine nephews and nieces who inspire her to write stories and have adventures. She writes poetry and fiction, speaks five languages, has a Bachelor's degree in German, Spanish, and French, has a Master's degree focusing on Latin American and Peninsular Literature and Pedagogy, taught Spanish for two years at Washington State University and taught 9th grade for three years in Texas. Oh, yeah. And she free-style raps when around very close friends. She hopes that someday her children will be better-behaved than her two cats, Ray and Thumbelina, who like to steal her magnets off the fridge when she isn't home. Diamond enjoys playing basketball, hiking, floating the river, watching the sunrise at the beach, Latin dance, reading, writing, and making handpuppets in her classroom on the projector screen.
