My review:
This was really good! Biblical fiction isn’t usually my go to to read, but I liked this one. I liked how it brought the Bible to life. Not only do we read from Miriam’s perspective, we also get Moses’s and Zipporah’s as well. I feel that the author did a good job taking everything that is in the Bible and applying it to this story to give us a better look at the events that happened.
