The eagerly awaited second volume of The Desert Songs Trilogy, Seventeen Spoons, takes readers on an unforgettable journey alongside the beloved religious icon, Joseph, as he navigates the tumultuous path of gaining power and breaking away from his family's traditions. Seventeen Spoons delves into the life of Joseph, the youngest and most favored son in the tribe of Jacob. With prophetic dreams, special treatment, a divine connection, and an unshakable confidence, his youth is marked by distinction and envy.
While his brothers exclude him, Joseph finds solace and wisdom among the women of the tribe. Instead of becoming a shepherd like his brothers, he becomes a man of the tents, devoted to prayer and study. Though he swiftly masters reading and writing, he must also navigate the complex emotions surrounding him--jealousy, anger, love, and his own feelings of curiosity, affection, and grief.
Joseph's ascension to being crowned Second-in-Command of all Egypt is fraught with dramatic power shifts. Through it all, he must balance the traditions and lessons of his childhood with the demands of ruling a mighty kingdom, fulfilling his destiny as a revered leader.
