The cover designer is more important that the actual cover. I have a friend who has been a professional designer for 25+ years.
About a year ago I found a photo that I loved of a scene in the book and she designed about 15 variations with that and threw in one extra (when I asked). The problem with the beautiful photo was that it was really a panorama. It looked great spread over front and back cover but wasn't going to look like that on the ebook.
When I saw the 'extra' - the eventual cover, I just thought - that's it. The silhouette was one of several. I liked the one that looked a little messy and not quite all together.
Then I let supporters on my closed 'storytellerchristine' group on Facebook vote. Eventually they chose the blue one too. (less)

A hard book because of the topics but excellent. Excellent writing, themes, spiritual content. It would make a wonderful discussion book for a book club.

Wow. What a ride with this gritty, realistic novel that looks at the question, 'What would a mother do to protect a child?' and 'would it be right?'
Excellent writing.

This book suffers with a 100+ year timeline. Not an easy book to write. It is also difficult because we only know a little about Miriam from the Bible and most of the time Moses is the central character.

Quotes by Christine Dillon  (?)

“It would be great if Jesus could just be a useful model of how to live with some wise teachings he could apply in his life. But that wasn’t an option, not based on what he’d read so far. Jesus demanded all or nothing. Paul didn’t want to give all, yet was equally afraid to ignore what he’d learned.”
Christine Dillon, Grace Beneath the Frost

“because there really isn’t much of a difference between Christians and non-Christians,”
Christine Dillon, Grace in Strange Disguise

“I’d love you to pray for eyes to see opportunities and courage to grab them.” “I wouldn’t have thought you needed such prayers.” “Every believer needs the same things. Even Paul asked the believers to pray for him to have boldness. After all, our enemy uses fear as one of his favourite weapons to prevent us doing God’s work.”
Christine Dillon, Grace in Strange Disguise
