Curious after Polly Jane's fascinating research on the Queen of Sheba and the subsequent Solomonic line of Ethiopian rulers, I picked up this book. I knew a tiny bit about Operation Solomon, a secret airlift to transport Ethiopian Jews to Israel during the Cold War. Code Word: Catherine tells what happened to Solomon's last descendants while Ethiopia fell to communism. God was pleased to use a Christian---a Mom---to do good. In using her, God also was pleased to build her faith. This is an inspiring story.

This is a biography. It is the true story of how a missionary couple were able to smuggle six of Emperor Haile Selassie's grandchildren out of Ethiopia during the Communist revolution.
