A few Biblical Romance authors are worth
reading. A Light on a Hill by Connilyn Cossette is definitely a keeper. It is a
page turner. From the beginning, Moriyah's story grabs you and you find
yourself rooting for her to find compassion, courage, and love. You pray that
someone appreciates her and sees the real person before the abuse and scarring
affected her.
When she meets a man who seems to be
attracted to her even though he hasn't seen her except through a veil, you
suspect as she does that maybe this is the man with whom her father has
arranged a marriage match.
You feel Moriyah's disappointment when
things are not what they seem and then react in horror to the innocent mistake
that ends in tragedy.
Mostly, you root for her as she struggles
to get to safety in a city of refuge protected by faithful men of her father
and surprisingly by the brother of her accuser.
Darek has every right to execute her but he finds himself drawn to the
genuine caring woman Moriyah is.
Finally, for those who appreciate it, the
aspects of faith and how it drives the characters is compelling especially when
Moriyah feels and responds to the promptings from Yahweh. For those who
understand and believe, the descriptions by the author are accurate and
enthralling.
I give this 5 stars for your keeper shelf
and for purpose of disclosure; I received this book from netgalley for my
honest review.
