A true story. A forgotten heroine. In a time when women were told to stay silent, could she become the saviour her people need? 12th-century England. Nicola de la Haye wants to do her duty. But though she’s taught a female cannot lead alone, the young noblewoman bristles at the marriage her father has arranged to secure her inheritance. And when an unexpected death leaves her unguided, the impetuous girl shuns the king’s blessing and weds a handsome-but-landless knight.

Yes, it’s true—Rahab was a prostitute—until the day God redeemed her. But gratefully, once we have been redeemed, God doesn’t see any of us through the lens of our sin; rather, He sees us through the lens of His Son. It was by faith, this woman of courage and strength did not die with all the others in her city. And it was by faith, she became a part of the ancestral line that led to the advent of Jesus. This is the story of the heroine who protected the Israelite spies … and so much more.

In my two previous books, "Emergency Landing—Based on a True Story" and "Emergency Landing—The Life of Carlos", I described my experience during my stay in Oregon and the flight back to Houston. During that flight, one of the passengers, Carlos Pérez, suffered two severe epileptic episodes halfway through the trip. The nurse, who was traveling as a passenger on the plane, and me had to provide first aid, I was playing the role of translator from English to Spanish and, at the same time, assisting and facilitating the nurse's work.
