Summary In 71 AD, as the Roman army pillages Judea and destroys their village, fourteen-year-old Judith hides with her younger sister, her great-grandmother Rabba, a Roman slave and a goat in a cave used for storage. Judith is 'just a girl', but her skills will save them as wolves and humans threaten the group during that long icy winter. There are feasts to enjoy as they listen to Rabba tell stories of her youth. But there is one story Rabba will not tell, no matter how much they coax her. It is the story of Maryiam, her beloved friend who faced the scandal and shame of an unwed pregnancy and the anguish of watching the crucifixion. Yet it is Maryiam's example that will give them the courage to step beyond the refuge.
