We Hanged Our Harps Upon the Willows is a novelization of the biblical story of Nehemiah, the man, the King of Persia, who chose to help the children of Israel rebuild the city of Jerusalem. Nehemiah's story in the Bible is one of action, adventure, trusting in God, deceit, treason, and, of course, Nehemiah and the Israelites' ultimate victory over their enemies. The novel begins in current-day Jerusalem with an archaeologist and his four grandchildren involved in an archaeological dig, and then flashes back to Nehemiah's time, first in Persia, and then in Jerusalem.
