One called him brother . . . one called him son . . . one called him husband. All three suffered for him. The three main women in Moses's life narrate his dramatic story from their perspectives. Miryam, his seven-year-old sister, and Merytamon, his 14-year-old adoptive mother, cover his early years as an Egyptian prince. Nine-year-old Zipporah, his future wife, tells of Moses' time with her father, a priest, and their family. After God reveals himself to Moses, Miryam recounts the liberation of the Jewish people and their escape from Egypt, and Zipporah and Miryam recall the years in the wilderness. The animosity and jealousy Miryam feels for both Merytomon and Zipporah flood the narrative, poisoning their happiness, but Moses takes scant notice, focused as he is on his task of serving God. Hunt's (The Immortal; The Note) sure writing and attention to fascinating details, such as Egyptian make-up customs and the cooking techniques of nomadic desert dwellers, add new dimensions to an overly familiar tale. --From Library Journal

I had been trying to fit into life after war - often making a pretty good mess of things - and was rejected at every attempt. What did Clara expect from me? Could we find a way to rekindle the love we once felt? I wondered. The questions swirled in my head until sun up, but the answers still evaded me. Of all the things I didn't know, however, one truth rang deep: I can't go on living like this.***This is the last night I'll sleep alone, I thought. Tomorrow, I'll be married... to a girl a third my age. It was certainly unusual, but unusual doesn't have to be wrong. Unusual can be beautiful. This is love; an amazing, deep, miraculous love maybe only we ourselves would ever fully understand the power of.***As if someone took blinders off an old horse, my eyes were fully opened to God's Truth. It had been simple enough for a child to understand all along... God moved everything around in my whole life to bring me to this very time and place. Risking life and limb in the first World War, veteran Daniel Johnston returns home to realize he has lost everything precious. With his wife in love with another man and him feeling like a ghost among his children, he is leaving them and setting on a personal quest to fill the void of longing and despair.

Based on true family history and written by the award-winning author of When Dignity Came to Harlan and Teaching Dignity, In Search of Dignity is a heartfelt story of heartbreak and hope, forgiveness and love, second chances and merciful redemption. Join Daniel and Anna Beth and see for yourself how age is no match for love - or God.*********************************"In Search of Dignity is another brilliant page-turner by Rebecca Duvall Scott. The theme of reconciling with life choices occupies much of the story, as gutsy characters seek the interior peace that comes from repentance, forgiveness, and redemption. Good literature should elevate humanity, and the entire Dignity series offers timeless lessons which ignite and hoist the human spirit.- Mary Jo Thayer, best-selling and award-winning author of Close to the Soul A busy writer's lament is that they have no time to read other writers' works. I fall within that realm with the exception of one author, Rebecca Duvall Scott. I'm enthralled with her Dignity series and will drop everything to catch up on this saga. It's 100% binge-worthy!"- Martha Jordan, award-winning author of Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands
