It is the reign of Rameses the Great in the land of Egypt. The Hebrews in Egypt have sunk to the status of tenant farmers, scorned and exploited. Miri (Miriam), a Hebrew girl in a village owned by an Egyptian landlord, discovers through dreams and visions that she has spiritual gifts similar to those of her ancestor Joseph. When Pharoh`s new edict forbids her baby brother`s very existence, Miri saves him through her faith in God and the inspiration given to her in a dream. This fresh version of the dramatic story brings to life an important Biblical character as a young person. Through the voice of the young Miriam, torn between embracing a new life in the Egyptian palace and her Hebrew identity, Beatrice Gormley vividly presents the ancient Egyptian setting and the context which leads the Hebrews to the Exodus.
