My Goodreads Monday today is a bit different. Usually, I showcase a TBR that has been sitting on my virtual or physical bookshelf for quite some time. This book hasn’t yet released and just arrived on my doorstep a few days ago. Yes, you read that right…I have this book before release date. How? Well, I happen to be on the launch team for it! I really wanted to take the time to showcase this book because I’ve been waiting for months for this release! Without further ado, let me introduce you to one of my most anticipated reads of 2018!
A Light on the Hill (Cities of Refuge Book #1) by Connilyn CossetteGenres: Ancient World, Christian, Fiction, Historical, Romance
Pages: 336
Seven years ago, Moriyah was taken captive in Jericho and branded with the mark of the Canaanite gods. Now the Israelites are experiencing peace in their new land, but Moriyah has yet to find her own peace. Because of the shameful mark on her face, she hides behind her veil at all times and the disdain of the townspeople keeps her from socializing. And marriage prospects were out of the question . . . until now.
Her father has found someone to marry her, and she hopes to use her love of cooking to impress the man and his motherless sons. But when things go horribly wrong, Moriyah is forced to flee. Seeking safety at one of the newly-established Levitical cities of refuge, she is wildly unprepared for the dangers she will face, and the enemies–and unexpected allies–she will encounter on her way.
Check back later today for a special interview with the author of A Light on the Hill, Connilyn Cossette.
About Connilyn Cossette
Connilyn Cossette is the author of the Out from Egypt Series with Bethany House Publishers. When she is not homeschooling her two sweet kiddos (with a full pot of coffee at hand), Connilyn is scribbling notes on scraps of paper, mumbling about her imaginary friends, and reading obscure out-of-print history books. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she now lives in Texas where she loves the people but misses mountains, tall trees and barefoot-soft green grass. There is not much she likes better than digging into the rich, ancient world of the Bible, discovering new gems of grace that point to Jesus, and weaving them into fiction.
