A tiny infant floating in the Nile...who became the man who saw God on the mountaintop and brought down the Ten Commandments. The reluctant leader who brought his people to the gates of the Promised Land. We all know the story of Moses. Less familiar is the story of his mother, Jochebed, an ordinary woman whose extraordinary quick thinking and courageous actions saved the life of her son in a time of great peril.

In this intimate and beautifully written portrait of Jochebed, noted author Carole Towriss builds upon the foundations of Scripture and envisions the story behind what we know of Moses, bringing to life his mother and her valiant sacrifice, which gave her son to history and the world.
