The Matchmaker, Matchmaker Question, by Paula Rose Michelson

Thursday, September 27, 2012


It seems that no matter where we go, what nationality we come from, or what faith we follow there’s always a matchmaker. In our youth, we might have been paired—matched-up—with someone to learn to square-dance. Later we may have been instructed to stand next to so-an-so (another way of being matched-up-with someone) in the back row so everyone could been seen in the photograph. 


Within every group we’ve been part of fragment groups already existed or soon would. From the nerds to the suffer dudes, from the preppies to those who dressed in goth-black each person has a deep desire to be an individual yet a member of a group that not only defines them but sees them as one to be emulated! 


Taking Naomi as our example, this woman who many wish to emulate is a puzzle to the attorney, but one he’ll rectify when Naomi does…

Scavenger Hunt Questions


Why is the attorney trying to find Naomi a husband?


Why has the priest told the attorney that he’s no longer interested in his schemes?


Why does Naomi agree to meet the man the attorney has selected, and why after many failed attempts at matchmaking why does he believe this is the man for her?


Proverbs 31: 30-31 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


Until next time may you hunt for that which is elusive, and when you find it, may you... 

Scavenger Hunt Clue, by Paula Rose Michelson

Tuesday, September 11, 2012
When writing or reading historical fiction details matter. Since these oft forgotten pieces of information set the stage and knowing them gives the author and reader a template that allows them insight they might not have otherwise, my questions this week are about Naomi's history and journey.

Why did Naomi leave her family without telling them why or saying goodbye?

How did a fifteen year old girl get to America?

Scavenger Hunt - Week Three, by Paula Rose Michelson

Monday, September 3, 2012
From the time I was little until today people have always known what mattered to me by the way I acted, what I said, and what I did not say. I'm certain that is as true for you as it is for Naomi, and that is why I have posted today's question. For until we understand what motivates us, a friend, or a character in a a novel, we are emotionally removed from their reality. But once we understand, we know more about them and knowing more might cause us to care.

If asked to describe Naomi in one word everyone Spanish Harlem would agree that word was____?

Since it's always important to understand why characters do what they did, today's question deals with Naomi's background. As before, you can visit Casa de Naomi Reflections for the information, or buy the novel so you can answer this question.

What happened in Spain hundreds of years before Naomi was born to make her family insist they not tell people that they were...?

If you can fill in the missing word, you'll be close to answering this weeks question.

Choosing a Template, by Paula Rose Michelson

I think it was Shakespeare, who said, "...a rose by any other name would smell as..."

"As what?" I wonder.

And as always, it is in the asking that I am lead. So I'm certain that those who know me, and my many readers who understand me through my work, realize that I try to follow Messiah. Therefore, it wasn't by happenstance that I searched for and found an image that speaks of the ending of Casa de Naomi: The House of Blessing Book One. For at the end of that book we see our newlyweds, of less than a week, are estranged. Just as the locket pictured on this blog has no picture within it, one wonders if these star-crossed lovers will carry the picture of the one they pledge to love, honor, and obey in their heart. If they do perhaps they will be able to reconcile and unite. That's the question book two answers.
