Meet Esther

Esther Goldenberg is a sister, mother, daughter, and friend who loves gazing at the moon. No matter the night, it reminds her that everything is just a phase. In this phase of Esther’s life, she’s reminding herself to keep breathing, keep dreaming, and keep singing her song. Her work is inspired by her lifelong love of daydreaming and her short excursions into nature. In addition to writing, Esther leads a variety of workshops and is happy to virtually visit book groups to discuss her novels.

Esther thought of herself as a reluctant reader until she read John Irving’s, The World According to Garp in her teens. From that day on, she discovered that she loves books! These days, she mostly listens to audiobooks.

Esther’s writing career grew from the stories she told her children. Book after book poured out of her as she began to put the words down on paper. She also shares her deep knowledge of storytelling, Judaism, and faith through teaching and speaking work (connect with Esther here to learn more).

Her much anticipated debut Biblical fiction novel (book one in the Desert Songs Trilogy), The Scrolls of Deborah, is available now. Esther continues to write and teach students of all ages, and also enjoys adventures with her children, chanting with her neighbors, and walks in nature.
