What is Wisdom's Daughter about?
gt;gt;Wisdom's Daughtergt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;PART ONEgt;gt;gt;gt;gt;The Queen of the southgt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;Abishaggt;gt;gt;gt;gt;I am no more than memory's echo, but my name is still spoken and so my voice whispers to the living, carried upon the winds of time. For many tales still are told of Abishag the Shunammite, and not all of them to my credit. But this much I can call my heart's truth: I never schemed to become queen. The plots I aided, the intrigues I carried out, all were done to one end only: that Prince Solomon should wear the crown when King David died. That goal I worked towards always, after I was brought to King David's court.gt;gt;gt;gt;For thatgt;--gt;and to win Solomon for myself, to turn his heart to me and to me alone. What was a king, or a crown, compared to that prize?gt;gt;gt;gt;And I was granted my heart's twin desires, for all the good either did me. For I was denied the one thing that would have paid for all the rest, have redeemed all the deeds that put Solomon on the throne and a queen's crown upon my head: Solomon's son, a prince to be king hereafter. That prize, I was not to win.gt;gt;gt;gt;But in the end, it did not matter.gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;gt;Bilqisg
