I remember the night. I was a kid when I first heard this story told by my late mom. I wept that night and imagined what a woman of courage and virtue Queen Iden was. Truly she is a heroine and my heroine of the millennium.
Can one compare her sacrifice to that made by the only son of God; Jesus Christ?
Hope you enjoyed the story! Please leave comments and recommend this book.
Watch out for my other books.
