Thirteen-year-old Elisha lives in a village near Shechem in the Land of <br>Canaan in ancient Palestine. She wants to be like other girls but is <br>unmarried, speaks to an angel, and composes and sings her own songs--a <br>pursuit her parents disapprove of. When she tells the village women to <br>stand up for themselves, the men are outraged he tribe banishes her. <p/> <p/>After journeying alone through the desert, escaping bandits, wild <br>animals, and men who would sell her as a servant, Elisha makes it to <br>Jerusalem, where the angel guides her to study with Abraham and Sarah. <br>She learns much including reading and writing, and Abraham even gives <br>her Doron, his servant, to accompany her as she sings her songs <br>throughout the country. Doron becomes her lover and her songs are well <br>accepted--until she sings one about equality for women. <p/> <p/><em>Mountain of Full Moons</em> explores how we overcome our fears, go out into the world, and gain the courage to speak up and be whom we choose to be.
