About this ebook
A Story of Love, Desperation, and Hope During a Great Biblical Epoch
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.
To save her older brother and escape the bonds of slavery, Kiya flees with the Hebrews during the Great Exodus. She finds herself utterly dependent on a fearsome God she's only just beginning to learn about, and in love with a man who despises her people. With everything she's ever known swept away, will Kiya turn back toward Egypt or surrender her life and her future to Yahweh?

I bought and read. I have never contemplated the experience from the Egyptians of that time, not to mention the ever growing desire to know a God like Yahweh. I sincerely enjoyed this book and cannot tell you how much I will probably continue to contemplate decisions and experiences Kiya had. In addition, this challenge was met with a pure story of continued persistence where my own values were respected and reminded of Biblical pieces that made the exodus more realistic. Fan for life.

I loved it... it kept me interested the whole time and I read it in 4 to 5 days and that the fastest I have ever read a book like this. I could easily say that this book was the best.

It's an interesting book. But it is full of lies. Take everything that's supposed to be biblical with a grain of salt. It is true fiction
