Babylon's Tower

The Saga of Ether #1

by L.A. Pattillo

Will a curse from God keep them from their happy ending? The Tower of Babel had been in construction for nearly a hundred years by the time Eve, the daughter of Abiah the potter, was born. She's never known a time when her city wasn't obsessed with reaching the heavens, growing more wicked in their desires with every year that passes. As one of the few believers left, Eve clings to her family and other loved ones, finding peace and solace in their shared faith. But as she and her childhood friend, Mahah, become adults, Eve finds that her friendly feelings toward the now handsome man, have begun to shift and change. If only he had had the same revelation. Instead, Mahah continues to tease and play as if she were still a young child. Mahah has watched his friend grow from a scrawny young girl into a beautiful, faithful woman. His heart no longer recognizes her as a sister, but as someone he would like to spend the rest of his life with. However, he cannot find the courage to risk their friendship for an emotion he is not sure she returns, no matter how much his family pushes him to settle down with a wife. Just when Mahah and Eve come to an understanding, a plague from God brings Babylon to its knees. Mahah and Eve find themselves unable to communicate and their families in despair. Is there a way to receive God's forgiveness and cure the illness that has spread throughout the entire city? Or will the punishment of the wicked take down the righteous as well? "Babylon's Tower" is the first book in the "Saga of Ether" Romance series, by Book of Mormon Fiction Author, L.A. Pattillo.

Deeply intense!

Satisfaction rocks this jewel, bringing it home with such intensity and precision, riding roughshod and imparting one block busting dynamo, propelling this baby to life beautifully. Throw in drama, tension, turmoil and churning emotions, you have the recipe for one block busting delight. Surprising happenstance and vexing mishaps, swirl with the taxing trials and challenging tribulations, spinning alongside the thrilling twists and wicked turns, putting our characters through their paces, testing them in ways they could have never imagined. The characters, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits add realism and diversity, transforming into genuine charismatic personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions that feel as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Remarkable job Pattillo, thanks for sharing this lil' fella with us.

Consequences and Blessings

I enjoyed this story set at the time of the Tower of Babel, and told from the perspective found in the Book of Mormon. It dealt with the difficulties of a religious minority that lives in a society that does not believe. The author's description of what took place at the time language was confounded was very believable...and frightening. This was a sweet romance part of a greater story of faith. A great read.

This is an interesting look at what the people would have experienced at the Babylon Tower where the peoples languages were confused & life drastically changed. We cannot imagine what happened that day & how their lives changed. Very well written. I received an ARC. This is my voluntary opinion.
