"The Scroll is a multi-generational historical novel about the survivors of Masada that draws from a real archaeological find -- the divorce document of a real-life woman named Miriam. The story begins on Maswada's final, horrific day. Its characters must choose between nation and family, and finally, between life and death. Will they learn the lesson of Masada's downfall, or will enemies -- within and without -- rob it from them? Though it deals with events that took place two millenna ago, The Scroll helps us make sense of the complexities of today's Israel and the choices its leaders make"--Back cover.
