Eluda I: a Woman of Faith Margarita Beard

A poignant tale of one woman's journey through plight and triumph - Eluda: a woman of faith

Set in Soufle, a small yet calm and beautiful town in Jerusalem, this narrative revolves around a unique girl, Eluda. She grew up strong, like her two brothers and always had a cheerful aura emanating from her. After losing her mother however, her world turned upside down. She was forced to marry a man who owned vast lands, an older man who did not look at her as a wife, but as a slave. Since then, Eluda was no longer was the young person who had the opportunity to smile--for it was impossible.

One year passed after another, and although she was generally sad, Eluda was able to grasp a tinge of joy from managing every aspect of the farm. Later, she began every day with strength, confidence, and determination to live - a conviction that, in the end, turned out triumphant.

Gripping and well-written, Eluda: a woman of faith explores the depths of one's own minds, hearts, and souls. It is an account of hope, determination, and faith that will leave you inspired and grateful.
