Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Sherry Jones Dear Reader, I am please to introduce to you A'isha bint Abi Bakr, known throughout the Muslim world but largely unknown in the West, and the protagonist of THE JEWEL OF MEDINA. A'isha was a remarkable heroine: Given in marriage when she was nine to the fifty-two-year-old Prophet Muhammad, this girl whose destiny was controlled by men became a political advisor and scholar and the most beloved wife one of the most charismatic and influential men in history. THE JEWEL OF MEDINA is an epic love story, a lesson on the origins of Islam, and a book that, like The Red Tent, provides a glimpse into the lives, hopes, fears, desires, jealousies, and friendships of the twelve women in the Prophet Muhammad's harem. I've drawn inspiration and strength from A'isha's example many times. I hope she will do the same for you. To enter to win one of five signed copies of THE JEWEL OF MEDINA send an email with your name and mailing address to TheJewelofMedina@gmail.com and please visit my website at www.jewelofmedinabook.com to tell me what you think!
