Description
Judah's father resists the decree, igniting a war that will cost him his life. But before dying, he commands his son to pick up his sword and continue the fight--or bear responsibility for the obliteration of the land of Judah. Leah, who wants nothing but peace, struggles with her husband's decision--what kind of God would destroy the peace she has sought for so long?
The miraculous story of the courageous Maccabees is told through the eyes of Judah's wife, who learns that love requires courage . . . and sacrifice.

This is the first novel I have ever read on the Maccabean Revolt time period. It was such a joy to see this novel on one of the deuterocanonical books from an author who isn't Catholic. I really enjoyed the realism that Hunt's story brought to the biblical texts.
Rosalyn S, Reviewer
This is an intriguing story, historical fiction, a time period between the Old and New Testaments.
I enjoyed reading Leah's story, of how she became Judah Maccabees' wife.
The details of those days, the setting, the Jewish laws, the turmoil, all of it makes for an interesting read.
It brought it to life for me.
Leah's life prior to her marriage was a difficult one, mostly due to the fact that her father was a difficult man. All she knew was living in fear of her father.
Her husband Judah proved to be a kind, attentive husband, and she was grateful to him for giving her a new life.
The characters were realistic, and I really enjoyed reading this book.
