Book Review: A Light on the Hill

Morivah had no chance to be married, she was branded with the mark of the Canaanite gods in the Battle of Jericho. However, no she has found the right man but instead she is made to run. She goes to a city of refuge but along the way there are even more

After being branded during the battle of Jericho, Moriyah has had no prospects for marriage--until now. She hopes to please the man, but things go horribly wrong and she is forced to flee for her life. Seeking safety at one of the Levitical cities of refuge, she is unprepared for the dangers she faces, and the enemies--and allies--she encounters on her way and within the city.

This is the first book I have read by this author, though I see she has written others. If her others are anything like this, I know I will love them. She has such a way of telling a story. I felt like I could feel the shame, fear and hope that Morivah felt throughout the book, plus I kept hoping that she would find peace and love.

From my past reviews, it is obvious that I enjoy reading books set in Biblical times. I would recommend this book very highly to others that enjoy this kind of book. It will become a favorite that will be read again and again. 

I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
