(Out of Egypt #1)
352 pages
"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?" --from the publisher
This is an interesting premise for historical fiction. I think the way Cossette describes her characters with conflicting thoughts and emotions is refreshing and pretty realistic. Overall the writing is average, but the story and characters drew me in and gave me much to ponder.
