Description
This story revolves around the lives of two very different women who are linked inexplicably by their very births. It is a love story about the love of family, love of a man, love of self and the very identity of who you are and why you are. It is a love story that spans time and history. It is a story that links the African-American present with the African past. This is the romantic, intense, intimate love story of Nefertiti and her husband Akhenaten the Pharaoh of Egypt’s 18th dynasty. He has been labeled as the ‘heretic’ King for believing in one god and for worshipping out of a book called The Book of Coming Forth by Day and by Night. That didn’t stop Nefertiti from loving him passionately. She even killed for him. Theirs is a story of love and intrigue and danger (they never found her body) and is simply written to bring life to two amazing people who defied the cultural beliefs of their time. Sometimes love in its truest sense really does conqueror all. But that is not all this story is about. Enter Shari and Greg our modern day lover’s who find themselves living the life that Nefertiti and Akhenaten lived. Moving into and out of history, Shari and Greg’s every move in the present will help determine the fate of Nefertiti and Akhenaten. Can she figure out in time that she is living the life and love of this famous Queen? No one ever found Nefertiti’s body. Is it possible that she tried to use the ‘Books’ prayers to help save her man from destruction? What an intriguing theory! Nefertiti loved her husband and five daughters with passion and conviction and would have done anything to save their lives. Read the book and see if you don’t see the similarities of life and modern day love and even modern day religion. I believe you will be drawn to the love story, the mystery of love and the mystery of why love is worth fighting for!
