Resumen del Editor

After being branded during the battle of Jericho, Moriyah has had no prospects for marriage - until now. She hopes to please the man, but things go horribly wrong and she is forced to flee for her life. Seeking safety at one of the Levitical cities of refuge, she is unprepared for the dangers she faces, and the enemies - and allies - she encounters on her way.

Seven years ago, Moriyah was taken captive in Jericho and branded with the mark of the Canaanite gods. Now the Israelites are experiencing peace in their new land, but Moriyah has yet to find her own peace. Because of the shameful mark on her face, she hides behind her veil at all times and the disdain of the townspeople keeps her from socializing. And marriage prospects were out of the question...until now.

Her father has found someone to marry her, and she hopes to use her love of cooking to impress the man and his motherless sons. But when things go horribly wrong, Moriyah is forced to flee. Seeking safety at one of the newly-established Levitical cities of refuge, she is wildly unprepared for the dangers she will face, and the enemies - and unexpected allies - she will encounter on her way.

Wonderful read!

You will feel like you are a part of the story. Vivid and enthralling composition. Wonderful historical context with love, passion, hope and restoration woven throughout.

Story good, but narrator not so much

I really like this author but using this narrator to tell the story makes it a difficult listen. How she say Yahweh always makes me want to laugh.

Hope

Beautiful story of faith, hope, love and redemption. My second book by author and not my last to read/listen to.

Mercy

Enjoyed the book very much. If you like to cook, you would probably enjoy this book more.

Excellent book!!

This is a very good story!! I had a hard time pausing it. The orator does an excellent job of drawing you into the characters and the story!! Looking for to book number 2!

A Light on the Hill

My first book by this author and looking forward to many more to come. Such a beautiful story which had me on the edge of my seat with heart pounding. I enjoy stories of this nature as it also gives me further insight into life in Biblical times. Outstanding narrator.

Good Read!

Enjoyed this story. Helped to understand sanctuary cities, wish I would have had a map of the area while I was listening!

an exciting story

The story was exciting and a joy to listen too. However the narrator's pronunciation of names and places was a little off and caused me some minor confusion. It was a little to acty for me bit the story made up for it. the characters were wonderful and well written.

She Thought No One Would Want Her, She Was Wrong.

The year is 1399 BC, the walls of Jericho have crumbled, and the Dwelling Place is being prepared as the Israelites settle in the land of Canaan, after spending forty years in the wilderness. It's been seven years since the events of Wings of the Wind (the third book of the Out of Egypt series) and Moriyah has returned to her home in Shiloh with the haunting memories of her time in Jericho still plaguing her mind. Only taking her veil off when she’s alone in her house, due to her fear of bringing more shame upon her parents, Moriyah’s father surprises her with an announcement that he has found her a man to marry. Questions flood her mind about whether or not this stranger will accept her with the pagan symbol branded on her cheek or if he is only going through with the marriage to receive her father’s vineyard upon his death.
However, things go horribly wrong as Moriyah was making preparations to impress her betrothed with her remarkable cooking skills. Forced to flee for her life, Moriyah must race her assailant to one of the Levitical cities of refuge, before he has the chance to take justice into his own hands.
The journey is anything but easy. Moriyah comes across danger after danger and has to use her quick wits in order to save her life and those dearest to her. Will Moriyah arrive in Kedesh before her betrothed? Will Yahweh help guide her way, or has He cut all ties off with her after the events of Jericho? Moreover, what of her betrothed's brother, who is escorting her, can he truly be trusted?
A Light on the Hill is a story about finding out who you are, trusting in Yahweh no matter the consequences, and refusing to live a life of fear. Moriyah, one of the strongest protagonists I’ve ever read about, proves that even when destruction seems to be her only future, Yahweh can bring forth blessings and reveal His presence to us in the midst of our struggles.
I know I write this a lot, but A Light on the Hill is seriously my new favorite book! The way Connilyn Cossette wrote the characters and described the journey made it all seem real and relatable. I instantly connected with Moriyah and could understand everything she was going through throughout this book.
I sapped up every detail that was written, like a sponge in a bowl of water. I honestly couldn’t put this book down and would stay up at night trying to imagine what was going to happen next.
Everything about this book was exceptional. I can’t say one bad thing about it and am genuinely at a loss for words to describe how I feel about this novel. There is no doubt about it; I will re-read this book a hundred times and tell everyone I know to read it!

A light on the Hill

What a wonderful story, as I was listening to it, I realized how it was so biblically accurate. I was blessed with more insight into the day to day lives of people in that time period, as well as their struggles. We are so blessed with Grace.
