by Marek Halter. This was my book for commuting to and from school the past 2 weeks. I borrowed this from the Frisco Public Library after discovering their extensive audio book collection. This is based on the life of Moses' wife, Zipporah and fictionalized by the author. It was an interesting story full of twists and turns. Zipporah has dark skin and is ultimately rejected by the jews as Moses' wife. She returns to her father, Jethro's domain until hearing word that Moses has led the Hebrews out of Pharoh's land. They have 2 children before they are married, and Zipporah uses marriage as a tool to convince Moses to go to Egypt...."I won't marry you 'til the day you start for Egypt." This took much convincing for Moses and he did not believe he was called to this until God appeared to him in the burning bush. Although not based on biblical events, this is an interesting take on what could have happened.
