I enjoyed all her children's books, so I picked up this one.
Now I see it contrasts an actor named David who had many wives, with Dovid HaMelech L'Havdil.
I suspect I should put it straight in the trash as I don't need to have the thoughts of a non-Jew in my mind.
If anyone has read the book and can offer a perspective, I would appreciate it.

This is not her first foray into a biblical story... Did you read Many Waters?

I read Many Waters in camp when I was 11. So good!

All of her books had some religious stuff in them, didn't they?

I have some vague recollection of Many Waters, Mehitabel etc? Nefilim... yeah, I don't think I'd read it now.

Once upon a time the classics were full of reference to religion

References I don't care so much.
E.g. IIANM five Love Languages quotes New Test a lot. I try to avoid exposure to that so when I'd see it coming, I'd turn the book upside-down so harder to read by accident, & black it all out. Maybe some will find that a little extreme...
But here I'm afraid it's going to portray a figure from Tanach in a disrespectful way (or just from an Xian POV) & I don't want that in my brain.
For that matter there's probably a graphic discussion of Amnon & Tamar...
So was just hoping s/o who's read it can tell me if that's the case.

I haven't thrown it out yet. I'm thinking maybe I will read the contemporary part & skip the "historic" part which is likely full of kefirah...

Her books all have strong religious references, just the savior is the people with special good intelligence. It's similar to reading cs lewis

Personally, I'd toss such a book out, like, yesterday.
It's a serious transgression to even have such heresy in one's home.
