Wildflower Acres: Trust And Obey Blog Tour

Faith Blum has a new book. And it's not a Western! It is a retelling set during the time of King Saul. Read on to learn more about the book.

About the Book

A wicked priestess, a morally corrupt king, and two children stuck in the middle…

Hadassah and Gidal love their parents and will do anything for them. When Priestess Basmat tell Ehud and Jerusha to pay their debt, they cannot and she takes Hadassah and Gidal as her slaves for two years.

The priestess works them hard, but there are two other servants to divide the load with, so they cope as well as they can. Then King Saul comes in disguise requesting the priestess’s other services—as a medium.

Will Hadassah and Gidal trust Adonai to take care of them? What will happen after Priestess Basmat comes face-to-face with the prophet Samuel?

About the Author

Faith Blum is a small-town Wisconsin girl. She’s lived in, or outside of, small towns her whole life. The thought of living in a city with more than 60,000 people in it scares her, especially after some interesting adventures driving through big cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

Faith currently resides in the middle of the state of Wisconsin with her husband and their cat, Smokey. She is blessed to be able to have writing as her full-time career with household work and cooking to do on the side. She loves to paint walls as long as she doesn’t have to do hallways or ceilings.

When not writing, you can find her cooking food from scratch due to food allergies (fun), doing dishes (meh), knitting, crocheting, sewing, reading, or spending time with her husband (yay!). She is also a Community Assistant for the Young Writers Workshop and loves her work there. She loves to hear from her readers, so feel free to contact her on her website.

Book Excerpt

Ehud rubbed her chin and gave her a gentle kiss. “I love you, Jerusha. You are more than I ever could
have imagined when our fathers matched us.”
Jerusha smiled. “You always seem to say the same thing I am thinking, Ehud. May Yahweh bless
your work this afternoon.”
“And yours.” He left the small house, scaring a chicken along the way.
Jerusha shook her head. “You silly scaredy-chicken. Why don’t you go outside and get some fresh
air? It will do you good. You cannot stay in here all day or I may cook you up for our evening meal.”
The chicken seemed to look at her with a frightened gaze. Jerusha shooed it outside and then returned
to making her bread. She had just put the bread in the oven when Hadassah burst through the front door.
“Oh, mother! You won’t believe what I got.”
Jerusha tilted her head. “No, I don’t suppose I will.”
“Caleb’s mother gave me twice the amount of cheese as I paid for! I kindly showed her the mistake
and she said, ‘After everything your mother has done for me, it is my turn to bless you. Go, take it home.
Shalom, Hadassah.’ Isn’t she kind?”
Jerusha shook her head, a hint of a smile on her face. “Yes, she is. I will be sure to thank her when I
see her next. Come, bring the purchases to the table and then your father needs you to help him in the
fields.”
Hadassah’s smile tipped upside down. “Do I have to? It’s getting warm and the sun will be murder to
my face.”
Jerusha raised an eyebrow. “Your father needs your help. If you do not learn to obey him, how will
you ever learn to obey your husband? Go.”
Hadassah pouted. “Yes, Ema. I’ll go. Are you sure you don’t need help?”
“I’m sure. Go!”
