In a village hollowed by famine, where hunger erodes both body and spirit, Miriam holds fast to prayer. Widowed and worn, she knows what it means to lose everything. Then a stranger staggers through the gates starving, alone and despite the warnings of her neighbors, she offers him bread from her own small store. Elior has wandered through exile carrying the weight of all he couldn’t save. To find kindness in Miriam’s hands feels like grace he never expected. As the days stretch on, her quiet strength begins to kindle something he thought was gone: the possibility of hope. But suspicion takes root.
