Blurb (from Amazon):
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.

My Review:
A Light on the Hill is the first book to Connilyn Cossette’s new series, Cities of Refuge. I loved this book! This is by far my new favorite by this author. Her talent really shines through in this one. The details are so vivid, the characters seem to come alive. I just love Moriyah. She is such a strong, faithful, inspiring, and admirable woman. I am honored to have spent my time with her.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the Cities of Refuge series. I give A Light on the Hill 5+ stars.
I received this book from the author, but was not required to write a review. This review was 100% my own honest opinion.
