When King Artaxerxes' cupbearer traveled to Jerusalem, it affected more people than you might have imagined. The Bible tells us Nehemiah's brother, Hanani, made the long journey with him, but what about his sister-in-law? And suppose he had a niece named Adira. Born in Susa, thirteen-year-old Adira doesn't consider herself a slave nor a resident of Jerusalem. She struggles with her family's faith and her parents calling the holy city home home. What will it take for Nehemiah's niece to understand the true meaning of the word freedom? How will her Uncle's travels change her life, and what trials will she encounter as she makes her own journey on the rocky road to freedom?
