Book Review By Christina Olson
Mara: Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw

Mara, a blue-eyed slave girl in ancient Egypt, is sold by her brutal master to a mysterious stranger. This new master unexpectedly offers her freedom and riches, but demands she complete a task that may cost her life. Mara is determined to grasp this chance, and agrees to the bargain. During her activities, she meets suave Sheftu on a river barge. Mara's friendship with him deepens into something more, and her loyalties are divided. Should Mara follow her master and take the freedom and gold he offers, or follow her heart into the arms of Sheftu?
