This is one of my most favorite books. Based on historical content of the daily life of the time period, Angela Hunt does an awesome job at making the story of Moses and the women in his life come alive. Each chapter is based on a main character. It's such a great story you won't want to put the book down. I learned more about the history of the time period and grew an appreciation for what women went through back then. An amazing story.

Wonderful book! While fictionalized, the author took great care to preserve the biblical story of Moses through the eyes of the women surrounding him. Even though I had read the biblical story a few times I never remembered the part where God comes down to kill Moses. This book was a great read and I highly recommend this book.
