THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER

Award-winning novelist Mesu Andrews' new book marries the epic story of Moses' early life with a young King Tut and the dynamic history of Egypt's wealth and power. Plunging readers into the tumult of ancient Egypt, THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER is an epic tale of the sister to King Tut and the rescuer of the infant Moses. It will appeal to readers of novels who adored Francine Rivers' A Lineage of Grace or Anita Diamant's The Red Tent.

Scarred by memories of her mother's death during childbirth, Anippe is terrified to give her husband Sebak the son he wants and deserves. When the Pharaoh orders Hebrew males murdered at birth, Anippe rescues a newborn from the Nile, believing the gods have answered her prayers for a son. But are the gods smiling or taunting? When Egypt's wicked Vizier threatens to divide Egypt's Two Lands, Anippe conceals her son's heritage and hopes to place him in line for the throne. Could her handsome boy rule Egypt one day? Or will someone hear the Hebrews call Mehy Moses and destroy everything Anippe holds dear? Mesu Andrews' first novel, Love Amid the Ashes (Revell, 2011), won the 2012 ECPA Book of the Year for a Debut Author. Her three subsequent novels, Love's Sacred Song, Love in a Broken Vessel, and The Shadow of Jezebel all released to great reader enthusiasm. Mesu lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband Roy.
