From Egypt to Jericho

Award-winning author Maggie Anton has created a historical novel filled with adventure, warfare, and romance that is true to the Torah and to history.

Through vivid descriptions of daily life, unforgettable battlefield scenes, and a colorful cast of characters, Maggie Anton's The Midwives Escape: From Egypt to Jericho brings to life the exceptional journey of the Twelve Tribes of Israel out of slavery, across the Sea of Reeds, and through the wilderness to the Promised Land.

Asenet and Shifra, an Egyptian midwife and her apprentice daughter, wake up on the morning of the tenth plague to find Asenet's husband and son, both firstborns, dead. Frightened by the power of the Hebrew god, Asenet's family flees Egypt.

After accepting God's commandments at Mount Sinai, the two midwives join the Hebrews on their forty-year journey to the Promised Land, where they tend to the wounded, fall in love, share hardship and adversity, and start a new home and a new generation.
