Synopsis

Sold into slavery by her father and forsaken by the man she was supposed to marry, young Egyptian Kiya must serve a mistress who takes pleasure in her humiliation. When terrifying plagues strike Egypt, Kiya is in the middle of it all.

Choosing to flee with the Hebrews, Kiya finds herself reliant on a strange God and drawn to a man who despises her people. With everything she's ever known swept away and now facing the trials of the desert, will she turn back toward Egypt or surrender her life and her future to Yahweh?

About Connilyn Cossette

When she is not homeschooling her two sweet kids (with a full pot of coffee at hand), Connilyn Cossette is scribbling notes on spare paper, mumbling about her imaginary friends, and reading obscure, out-of-print history books. There is nothing she likes better than digging into the rich, ancient world of the Bible and uncovering buried gems of grace that point toward Jesus. Although a Pacific Northwest native, she now lives near Dallas, Texas.

Amazing retelling of the Exodus story from an Egyptian girl's perspective. I LOVED the first 3/4 of this book. Kiya is an Egyptian girl who has to be sold by her father into slavery.

Goodreads review by Celestria on February 25, 2023

4 ½ stars 🌟 I got sucked into the story right away and I loved that this was told from an Egyptian woman's perspective. This would have been 5 stars easy if not for the romance. I wish Kiya's love interest had been nicer instead of acting distant and like he hated her until the very end while all th......more
