There is nothing left to live for...

Or so Shlomzion thought after losing her family during the siege of Jerusalem and then being sold as a slave.

Marcia, a lady from Caesarea, buys the captive of Judea when she recognizes the leather pouch hanging around her neck. It reminds her of the first time Marcia met her in Jerusalem before the destruction when she made a pilgrimage to fulfill her mother's vow.

However, life in Caesarea is not easy for Shlomzion as Marcea's husband is a rude man and her friends are drunken Roman soldiers. But when their lives are in danger, they are forced to leave everything behind and embark on a new path.

In this lovely short story, Ory Kale shows how two brave young women in Roman-occupied Judea don't give up despite the loss.
