Born in the shadow of Pharaoh’s whip, sixteen-year-old Yael dreams of a life beyond mud bricks and blood-stained sand. When whispers of deliverance stir among her people, she dares to hope—until hope demands everything.
Born in the shadow of Pharaoh’s whip, sixteen-year-old Yael dreams of a life beyond mud bricks and blood-stained sand. When whispers of deliverance stir among her people, she dares to hope—until hope demands everything.
As plagues fall and Egypt trembles, Yael, her family, and the boy she may come to love flee into the unknown, led by a prophet and pursued by a vengeful king. But the Red Sea is only the beginning.
Over the course of forty years, through scorching deserts and sacred mountains, through loss, love, rebellion, and wonder, Yael must wrestle with the cost of freedom and the silence of God. From the foot of Sinai to the edge of the Jordan, her journey is marked by courage, questions, and the stones of remembrance she lays along the way.
Told with the heart of a poet and the detail of a historian, Yael: A Journey to the Promised Land is a sweeping biblical novel that brings to life the untold story of one woman’s wilderness—and the faith that carried her through it.
