sent onto the Nile River as a baby? I need a movie or novel that involves a scene similar to this story from the bible. Like i said, something similar to when Moses' mother had to set him free through the Nile River as a fairly new born. He was later discovered and eventually adopted by the family who found him. Anything even remotely similar helps! Even if it is just the idea of a mother having to set her new born free in order for him to live his life.
