Counted with the Stars by Connilyn Cossette

I love historical fiction, and better yet when it's Biblical historical fiction.  "Counted with the Stars" by Connilyn Cossette was a pleasant surprise.  A fresh story line, unique insight, and characters that aren't perfect (except for the woman portrayed on the cover!) made for a great read.  I never before had entertained the thought that there may have been Egyptians fleeing Egypt with the Israelites.

My only concern:  Although the story is pretty G-rated, some of the romantic scenarios I question if they are appropriate for Christian readers.

Other than that, I would give this book an enthusiastic two thumbs up and I look forward to the next book in the series!
