Yeshua of Nazareth has two sisters: Damaris, married to a wealthy merchant's son, and Pheodora, married to a simple shepherd from Bethlehem. When Pheodora's husband suffers an unexpected reversal of fortune and is thrown into debtor's prison, she returns to Nazareth, where she pins her hopes on two she-goats who should give birth to spotless white kids that would be perfect for the upcoming Yom Kippur sacrifice. In the eighteen months between the kids' birth and the opportunity to sell them and redeem her husband from prison, Pheodora must call on her wits, her family, and her God in order to provide for her daughters and survive. But when every prayer and ritual she knows is about God's care for Israel, how can she trust that God will hear and help a lowly shepherd's wife?

“there is none whose trade HaShem does not adorn with beauty"

  "I don't know. But I do know HaShem acts in His own time and for His own reasons." 

“Whatever your brother Yeshua is doing, I now know it is good. He is pointing men to HaShem in a way the Law and the Pharisees have not.”

“I think the man in humble circumstances should boast in his lofty position, and the rich person in his low position, for the rich man's possessions will pass away like the flowers of the grass.”

 “Worry is taking a burden upon yourself when you are meant to trust HaShem."

“Abba used to say that anyone who tried to recall his words was like a man who plucked a chicken atop a windy mountain and then decided to recapture every feather.”

"Every man and woman falls short of the Father's perfect holiness," Yeshua said. “But I shed my blood so every sin would be forgiven and every shortcoming corrected. The atonement is complete for anyone who believes."

“I have learned that anyone who is willing to love will always be precious to our Yeshua.”
