Official synopsis Publisher
A widow. A spinster. An angry young wife. Their paths cross in an arduous journey from Babylon to Yehud as Ezra leads the Jews back to their homeland. A vindictive Persian stalks the caravan to the Promised Land where unforeseen challenges threaten resettlement. Ancestral lands have been seized and inhabited. Jews have intermarried with their heathen neighbors in disobedience to Adonai’s law. Two of these Ammonite wives await their first babies. Tova has embraced the God of Israel, but Judith dabbles in the worship of Moloch. Determined to return to Adonai’s ways, Ezra decrees pagan wives be divorced. Tova, Judith, and even Naama are at great risk.
