Miriam’s Song
In her eventful lifetime, Miriam was many things to many people: protective older sister, song leader, prophetess, leper. But between the highs and the lows, she was a girl who dreamed of freedom, a woman who longed for love, a leader who made mistakes, and a friend who valued connection.
With her impeccable research and keen eye for detail, bestselling author Jill Eileen Smith offers this epic story to fill in the gaps and imagine how Miriam navigated the challenges of holding onto hope, building a family in the midst of incredible hardship, and serving as a leader of a difficult people, all the while living in her brother’s shadow.
Follow Miriam’s dusty journey from childhood to motherhood, obscurity to notoriety, and yearning to fulfillment as she learns that what God promises he provides—in his own perfect timing.
- Smith does an excellent job of bringing her characters to life, not only Miriam but also Aaron’s wife, Elisheba, and Moses’ wife, Zipporah, among others…Miriam is fully human, a compelling woman who wants to please God and who does not give up the hope of deliverance even though she must wait 80 years before she can leave Egypt. A memorable and noteworthy rendering of the atmosphere and figures of the scriptures.Cynthia Hammell, Booklist
