About This Book

Sisters and their small household confront ruin and uncertainty while trying to raise a ransom for an imprisoned brother, pawning heirlooms and accepting offers of help from friends and suitors. Reports arrive of capture, enslavement, and long searches in Egypt, and the discovery that crucial letters were intercepted by a betrayer complicates rescue plans. The narrative follows the practical and emotional consequences of these events: loyalty and sacrifice among kin and allies, the strain of poverty, unexpected generosity from neighbors, and the efforts to reclaim freedom amid deceit and hardship.
