Sold into slavery by her wealthy Egyptian father to pay off his business debts and abandoned by her betrothed, Kiya endures the verbal abuse of her new mistress until plagues devastate the kingdom of Egypt, the result of the pharaoh's refusal to free the Hebrew people. Kiya decides to escape the bonds of captivity and flee with the Hebrews during their great exodus.
VERDICT Cossette's debut won the 2013 Frasier Contest and was a semifinalist in the ACFW Genesis Contest. Her engrossing tale draws on the Book of Exodus and pays exquisite attention to the ancient setting, creating an exotic yet foreboding atmosphere. Biblical fiction buffs, especially those who follow Angela Hunt, Jill Eileen Smith, and Rebecca Kanner, are sure to be swept away by this promising new author.
