Books like Tzipporah by Marek Halter
Zipporah, born among the Cushites, grows up as the cherished daughter of Jethro, the high priest of the Midianites. Her distinct skin makes her an outsider within the tribe, which resists her marrying a Midianite. When she draws water from a well, she encounters Moses, an exiled Hebrew raised in the house of the Egyptian Pharaoh. Both men share a status as outsiders. Moses longs for peace among the Midianites, yet Zipporah refuses to let him neglect his past or his destined role. She demands he return to Egypt to liberate his people. After God speaks to Moses at the burning bush, affirming Zipporah’s conviction, Moses departs with her to lead the Israelites.
