Samuel: The Birth of a Prophet

In ancient Israel, a young woman named Hannah is barren, yet desires above all else to have a son. In a desperate plea, she cries out to God in her sorrow and promises that if He grants her a son, she will give him back to the Lord for all the days of his life. God answers her prayer and Samuel is born, but after being with the child for three years, Hannah truly loves her son and cannot bare to part with him. She must now decide if she is going to follow through on her promise or run away from her community to keep her son.
