"Suspenseful historical novel...about family duty and finding the courage to love." --Foreword Reviews

"A well-characterized coming-of-age story in an epically unusual setting." --Kirkus Reviews

"Worthwhile for readers of YA historical fiction." --School Library Journal

Romance, mysticism, and betrayal come together in a story of empowerment set in the harsh desert of biblical times.

16-year-old Milcah and her twin brother Gidon have a mysterious healing gift that makes them outsiders in their tribe. Unjustly accused by a neighbor of killing his goats, and promised in marriage to a scoundrel, Milcah undertakes a dangerous journey in a bid to have some control over her future.

Told by alternating narrators, including a dead brother who speaks to us from the spirit world, this historical fiction YA novel explores the passions and dramas of an Israelite family as they wait to cross into the Promised Land.

About the Author
Baker, Sharon Reiss: -

Sharon Reiss Baker collected ideas for future story settings in the many places she lived, including Puerto Rico, Maryland, Massachusetts, France, Florida, Israel, and Connecticut. Some of those ideas turned into actual books, including All Kinds of Strong (a PJ Library selection), A Nickel, A Trolley, A Treasure House (a Sydney Taylor Notable book), and Last Days in Moav, her debut novel. She also worked as an elementary school teacher and a high school administrator. Sharon and her husband now live outside Philadelphia.
