Brave, determined queen Esther

Esther 4:14b-16 NKJV [14b] ...Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” [15] Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai: [16] “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”
