About This Book

ANOTHER TIME...
Desperately searching for her beloved Cheftu, Chloe Kingsley leaves the modern world behind for biblical Canaan—the age of Philistines, the sweet psalms of King David, and the creation of the holy city of Jerusalem. She'll do anything to find the man she married in ancient Egypt during her first journey back in time—even masquerade as a mermaid goddess and risk being sacrificed to a pagan god!

ANOTHER CHANCE TO LOVE...
But the adventure doesn't end with their joyous reunion. Chloe and Cheftu must outwit the bitter enemies who follow them through the centuries, face deadly dangers no history book could foretell, and stand witness to countless wonders as they help shape the future. Or is it the past?

1.What other way could Chloe have handled her situation when she wakes up as a mermaid goddess?

2. RaEm has learned a lot from television in the 20th century. What are some positive things she could have learned and used?

3. At the end, Chloe and Cheftu have almost decided to stay in David's Jerusalem. What are the pros and cons they might have used in their decision-making process? What do you think they are looking for?

4. What effect do you think the Ten Commandments has had on western civilization? While much of our culture's thought processes come from the Greeks, what parts of government, organized religion and societal norms do we attribute to the influence of the Ten Commandments?

5. For the first time, Chloe and Cheftu don't doubt each other and they find one another fairly easily-how does their relationship change in the course of the story, and (if you read the two preceding books, Reflections in the Nile and Shadows on the Agean) how has it changed in the course of the series?

Critical Praise

"Colorful...intriguing....The juxtaposition of modern-day observations and expressions and archaic situations gives a good shot of humor to the clever, suspenseful narrative."
Publishers Weekly


"Suzanne Frank triumphs again with another mesmerizing tale of love and adventure in the ancient world....An exceptionally talented writer, Frank brings us one thrill after another as she allows us to view history in an amazingly fresh light without sacrificing one iota of reality."
Romantic Times


"A delightful twist on biblical history....Not since Jean Auel's Ayla has there been a heroine as resourceful as Chloe....Fast paced and wildly entertaining, this third book in the series stands alone but makes the reader want to hunt down [the first two books]."
Booklist


"Fans and newcomers alike should enjoy this....Frank effectively uses her knowledge of the Old Testament in her re-creation of ancient Israel...recommended.
Library Journal
