Chosen: The Lost Diaries of Queen Esther by Ginger Garrett (this author is a former member of Hannah's Prayer, by the way) is a fictionalized look at Esther, and in Ginger's telling of the story, she is never able to bear children. Spellbinding reading! Chosen first released by NavPress in 2005 and an updated version will be re-released by David C. Cook on March 1, 2010, but is available for pre-order in Kindle or print formats now.

When we lost our baby girl in-utero in 2005, the book 'When God does not make sense' by Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, was what got me through the first couple of weeks after this loss.
In essense this book is saying that God does not really choose anyone for bad things to happen to them. These things just happen and we have to just adjust our perspective on life, in this regard, to deal with them as they come.
I would reccommend to anyone who have suffered a loss.
I have never read Christian fiction. I love my Bible but for fiction I like to cozy up with a good romantic mystery...
Love to you

I loved Chosen too, Jenni! Fantastic story that really made me think about what Esther had to let go of in order to live the life God had chosen for her. And that painful moment of knowing what she must do. One of the standouts in Christian fiction that I've read in recent years.
For an oldie, have you ever read Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss?
