When the Pharaoh gives lovely teen-age slave Tuya to his captain of the guards as a gift, she finds a strong young slave in his household to share her dreams of freedom and love.
The story of Joseph as told in the Bible is a familiar one; I've read it many times. So I first thought that this book wouldn't appeal to me. I should have realized that anything Angela Hunt writes is going to be GOOD. She take the biblical account and using her attention to detail, fictionalizes it so that I end up thinking, "Yes, it could have happened like this." It just makes sense! Her ability to weave in information gathered from what must have been a massive research project, and create twists and turns so that this reader always expects the unexpected. You may ask, "How can there be surprises in a well-known story?" Ah, you'll have to read it to see for yourself.
WOW!!

It was hard to put this book down!! I had read the Old Testament account of the life of Joseph before, but this book brought it vividly to life. It's believable as well as fascinating. Hunt's portrayal of ancient Eygpt is stunning. All of Hunt's books have been wonderful, but this is definately one of the best!!
Fabulous!

I have just read Dreamers and it was fabulous. I just could not put the book down. I took it everywhere. I am a librarian and I would recommend this to anyone. I even told my dad to read it. Some of the other Christian writers leave me cold. This book had a little suspense. I would read my Bible and then the book. I am certain that with this series I definitely will not forget the Bible story. I did some looking and I know Tuya was actually a Queen. I found myself wanting to know about the history of the people in the book other than what the Bible told me.
Ancient Egypt comes alive!

I would like to tell you how much I have enjoyed the Books: Dreamers, Brothers and Journey. I could not put them down. I had almost given up my faith in God until my grandma had given me these books to read, which helped restor my faith in God and our relationship.
Fabulous, unforgettable book!
