She has prayed for deliverance from Egypt. But perhaps the greatest liberation happens within the heart.
From the very beginning, Miriam has lived in her younger brother's shadow. Thrust into the role of protective older sister before Moses was even born, she will grow up into a woman who not only keeps her family's secret but bears the burden of leading a new nation.
In her mind, she knows that she is serving both her God and her people. But in her heart, Miriam yearns for more. She longs to experience the privileges Moses has—to talk with God face-to-face. But when God finally does speak directly to her, the outcome is not at all what she expects.
With her impeccable research and keen eye for detail, bestselling author Jill Eileen Smith offers this epic novel to fill in the gaps in Miriam's story, following her from childhood to motherhood, obscurity to notoriety, and yearning to fulfillment as she learns that what God promises He provides—in His own perfect timing.

"Smith does an excellent job of bringing her characters to life . . . A memorable and noteworthy rendering of the atmosphere and figures of the scriptures."—Booklist starred review

      Starred review from March 1, 2021
      Smith is the award-winning and best-selling author of a biblical fiction series and other novels focusing on biblical women, most recently Star of Persia: Esther's Story (2020). Here her subject is Miriam, Moses' sister, and the miraculous story of the Exodus, beginning with the birth of Moses. Smith admits that this book was a challenge since Miriam's story in scripture lacks detail. Just the same, Smith does an excellent job of bringing her characters to life, not only Miriam but also Aaron's wife, Elisheba, and Moses' wife, Zipporah, among others. Her research led her to choose the princess Hatshepsut (who may have been only seven years old) as the pharaoh's daughter who adopts Moses after finding him in a specially designed basket on the Nile. Miriam is fully human, a compelling woman who wants to please God and who does not give up the hope of deliverance even though she must wait 80 years before she can leave Egypt. A memorable and noteworthy rendering of the atmosphere and figures of the scriptures.
