----

She wants to share her Christian faith the housekeeper George but her lack of courage keeps her from doing so.

Amelia, however, has an extraordinary imagination that can turn any story into a real life event.

Her mother, realizing her daughter's ability and her desire to learn how to have courage turns to one of the Bible's greatest stories to illustrate.

Before long they are transported back in time to the time of king Xerxes of Persia who ruled over 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush.

It is there where they find the young but courageous Esther, who also faces a challenge, but this challenge could cost her life.

She must find a way to save her people, the Jews, from a treacherous man named Haman.

This movie/musical is made for children but parent will also enjoy it. Featuring music by composer Aaron Edson.
