Book: Counted With The Stars Out from Egypt Book 1 (3 book series)
Genre: Biblical Fiction
Author Summary: 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?
My Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was my first biblical fiction book and I wasn't sure how I would feel about reading it. Once I started I couldn't stop! I love that Kiya didn't have to change who she was to be accepted by the Hebrews. Over time they were willing to accept her. While traveling with the Hebrews, Kiya discovers herself and is able to take her experiences and make her own conclusions about her future. This is a definite must read if you like biblical fiction. This is a sweet story about friendship, love, and acceptance!
The second book - Shadow of a Storm - is set to hit stores October 18th!
