Tamma, a young Hebrew midwife in Egypt during the time of the Hebrew's bondage, is blamed for the death of an Egyptian baby. The child is the fourth stillborn child of Tarik, Pharaoh's chief general. Tamma's faith in the power of Israel's God to deliver her people is tried when Tarik forces her to become a slave in his household and to bear him a son to take the place of his dead child. Can Israel's God deliver her - and her son - from this terrible bondage?
