Born in the small village of Modein, a town made famous by
the warrior Maccabees, Salome Alexandra knows better than to
harbor grand dreams for her future. She pales in comparison
to her beautiful older sister, and though she learns to read
at an early age, girls are not valued for their intellectual
ability. But when her father and sister are killed, John
Hyrcanus, a distant relative, invites Salome and her mother
to live with his family in Jerusalem, where her thirst for
knowledge is noticed and indulged.
When her guardian betroths her to a pagan prince, she
questions HaShem's plan. When Hyrcanus finally marries her
to a boy half her age, she questions her guardian's sanity.
But though Salome spends much of her life as a pawn ordered
about by powerful men, she learns that a woman committed to
HaShem can change the world.
