I always love reading books written by Connilyn Cossette, as a talented writer she writes stories that bring the biblical stories to life. Each of her books open your eyes to the culture and how we read the bible changes. This story helps those who are hurting  to see that there is hope on the other side of the darkness. I truly recommend this book to those who love reading biblical fiction. You will not ever be disappointed by any of her books.
