Beschreibung
From Sun to Sun is highly unconventional crime novel that presents two parallel stories separated by twenty-five centuries.The first set in modern New York City, featuring a hardworking smart-mouthed Latina investigator, Felicity Ortega Prez, specializing in forensic accounting and document examination, as she hunts for a missing person who holds the clue to an ancient mystery. Little does she realize how deep the criminality goes and what she will learn about her own hidden past.The ancient section is a radical revision of the Book of Ruththe first person in the Bible to convert to the religion of Israel. When Ruths husband dies under strange circumstances, she must join the exiles returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple in order to secure a future for herself, her grieving mother-in-law Naomi, and her future offspring. Unfortunately, the returning exiles also include religious leaders like Ezra and Nehemiah, who plan to purify the land by expelling all the foreign women, and Ruth must prove her worth under dire conditions, including a major famine.From Sun to Sunis a tale of love, devotion, and sacrifice depicting the challenges facing two determined foreign women as they battle ignorance, hatred, and indifference in two distinct historical periodsIron Age Israel and the modern world. Each in their own struggle to find justice and a place in societya seemingly endless battle in a time of social upheaval, fluid identities, and diverse cross-cultural complexities.In short, the novel is about combating prejudice, and who gets to decide who is one of us and who is a foreigner, and what it takes to prove you belong.
