Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The Midwife's Song: A Story of Moses' Birth

Book Review: A Tale of courage and justice hard won.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a book with more than the story of Moses; it is a love story that will reach the very depths of your heart. The author, who is also a midwife, had me in the palm of her hands by the second chapter. Her characters were so real, and their emotions so strong, I am still moved by them now. This is a wonderful story that is fast moving and written with a flow that makes the pages fly by. If you enjoy this book, another similar book of equal quality is QUEENMAKER by India Edgehill.

Summary of The Midwife's Song: A Story of Moses' Birth

Puah is a headstrong Hebrew girl whose parents have almost abandoned hope of finding a husband who pleases her. None of the young men "make her heart sing." Then she meets Hattush, of the house of Jacob and chief goldsmith of Pharaoh. The shy but willful midwife captures his heart and thrusts him toward his own unexpected destiny.

Pharaoh grows more insane with each passing day. His obsession to complete his tomb and his hatred for the Hebrews color every royal decree. When his paranoia peaks, he demands the midwives slay all Hebrew male infants. In the midst of this spiritual trial, Hattush and Puah must discover if they are truly worthy to be called "children of Abraham."

With thoroughly researched detail, author Brenda Ray brings to life the Biblical account of the Hebrew midwives and the birth of Moses. Using vivid imagery that appeals to all the senses, she places the reader in this timeless story.
