The kind of trauma she suffered is a threat not only to her life but to her identity. Separated from her culture, her way of life, she is thrust as a servant/slave into the household of Naaman, the Syrian army commander—the leader of the very people who kidnapped her and took away her freedom. She is now a lonely captive, a foreigner, a living tool, an orphan, human chattel.
