A Royal Dance: Book One
The Lion and The Butterfly Series: Book One
Jerusha’s father dotes on her and calls her royalty, a lioness who will one day dance before his King. Jerusha adores her father, but she cannot tell him her darkest secret. Instead of dancing like other Jewish girls, Jerusha sits alone, plagued by guilt for a crime she did not commit. Who will believe her story against the word of the most respected religious leader in Jerusalem?
Jerusha’s fears are amplified and her nightmares realized when her Jewish mother forces her to leave her father’s protection and live as a lowly servant in the home of the high priest. Will the esteemed son of the high priest still want to marry her? Or will Timon, a handsome Christian man and her father’s apprentice win her heart? Caught between the orthodox beliefs of her beautiful Jewish mother and her father’s newfound faith in the Messiah Yeshua, Jerusha is plummeted into a soul-wrenching family tragedy that leaves her young heart with more questions than answers.?
Author Linda Fergerson, a gifted story-teller, speaker, and dancer, takes you on an unforgettable journey into the life of a troubled young Jewish girl in first century Jerusalem. In this first book of the Lion and the Butterfly series, you will discover the sword that Jesus warned would divide family members and the chrysalis of hope for a new beginning through faith in Yeshua.

Book Reviews
This book has officially earned its spot as #1on my list and I don’t have many. I seem to struggle finishing books because if they don’t keep me on my toes I lose interest. This book, however, has kept me up late the past few nights. Chapter after character. It’s so good. I just finished it last night and am starting over. It encouraged me to explore Acts with a whole new perspective. I also can’t tell you how good it’s been for my relationship with Jesus. Such a blessing and I am so excited for the next book!

The first chapter completely captivated me within a page or two, in tears by end of chapter two.
