I could not wait to learn about her journey researching and writing REBEL DAUGHTER. REBEL DAUGHTER is an adventure that should not be missed. The depth of research required to create the historically accurate setting is a feat in itself. Not only is REBEL DAUGHTER a compelling read, but it is a sublime example of historical fiction. Lori has created a character that is relatable and engaging while providing highly detailed and richly layered historical elements throughout the novel. As she fights for her personal independence, Esther never loses sight of her obligation to her Jewish community and to her family. Esther experiences many of the same challenges young women throughout history have faced. Through the main character Esther, REBEL DAUGHTER brings to life a very significant time in Jewish history. This fascinating YA novel takes readers back to Jerusalem two thousand years ago. I am delighted to welcome Lori Banov Kaufmann, the author of REBEL DAUGHTER (Penguin Random House, 2021).
