Having escaped Egypt with the other Hebrews during the Exodus, Shira is now living in freedom at the foot of Mount Sinai. When the people rebel by worshipping a golden idol, the ensuing chaos gives Shira an unexpected opportunity to assist a midwife.

But when a delivery goes horribly wrong, Shira finds herself in an impossible situation and bound to a man who betrayed her. As contention between the Hebrew tribes and the foreigners fans the flames of another dangerous rebellion, Shira comes face to face with the long-hidden pain of her past. Can she let go of all that has defined her to embrace who she truly is and believe in a hopeful future?

Reseñas
Shadow of the Storm, second in the Out From Egypt series by Connilyn Cossette, is a remarkable novel. Biblical fiction is one of my favorite genres to read and this book did not disappoint. The story of the Hebrew nation fleeing from Egypt may be a familiar story to many but their life in the wilderness leaves a bit to the imagination and Cossette fills in this story magnificently. Using the voice of two distinctly different women, everyday life in the wilderness amidst a group of fractured people with jagged edges is vividly portrayed. Shira, gentle, and yet with a strength she has not yet recognized, desires to be a midwife despite her mother's disapproval. Can she find the courage to stand up to her mother and change her life's work or will she be held in bondage by her past? When the unthinkable happens will she ever be able to let go of her fears, the echoes of panic? Dvorah is a bitter, jealous woman who has a sordid and sorrowful past that holds her in bondage. A woman who clings to the superstitions and hopelessness of idol worship. Can she ever learn to trust others and recognize her worth as a daughter of Yahweh? What sorrow will her actions bring to others? To herself? The author brings to life the joys and heartaches of childbirth in the desert, the celebration of marriage as well as the building of the tabernacle and God's desire to dwell among His people despite their disunity and rebellion. Through the telling of friendships woven together through circumstances, slavery and God and relationships torn apart by fear, hatred, and jealousy, Cossette tells a story of forgiveness. A story of the hope that even in the storms of life God can take the broken pieces of our lives and fit them together into something beautiful. Shadow of the Storm is a captivating glimpse into the history of God's Chosen Ones. I received a copy of the book from the author. A favorable review was not required and the opinions are my own.
