Synopsis
The highly anticipated second volume of The Desert Songs Trilogy, Seventeen Spoons takes readers on a journey alongside the beloved religious icon, Joseph, as he moves through the tumultous journey of gaining power and breaking away from the traditions of his family.
Seventeen Spoons, the much-anticipated second book in The Desert Songs Trilogy, follows beloved Joseph as he navigates life as the youngest and most favored son in the tribe of Jacob.
Prophetic dreams, special treatment, a connection with the divine, and a confidence that he's better than his brothers set him apart in his youth.
While the brothers exclude him, Joseph is embraced and taught by the women. He won't become a shepherd like his brothers, but a man of the tents who prays and studies. While he's quick to master reading and writing, he still must learn to navigate how everyone feels about him—jealousy, anger, love, as well as his own feelings of curiosity, love, and grief.
Joseph's journey to being crowned the Second-in-Command of all of Egypt is not without its fluctuations in power. Through this, Joseph must learn to balance the traditions and lessons he learned as a child with being a revered ruler of a mighty kingdom, living out his destiny.
