Description:"I feel how powerful it would be to open the scroll and "read" from the Words of Yahweh. It might, indeed, bind a people together forever, no matter who was king. But why me, Samuel? I am a woman. They would never accept my work." King Solomon is getting old, and his son, Rehoboam, is not strong enough to hold the kingdom together once his father dies. Some of the priests think that if the stories of Yahweh were written down, rather than told orally, the power of the Word would unite the people forever.Judith, the daughter of a high priest, is a noted storyteller. Chafing under the rules of a society that treats women as less than men, she begins to worship the Goddess, an alternative deity, abhorred by the Priests and the monarch. But after a massacre at the Goddess's temple, Judith vows to write the Words of Yahweh, and to give women a place in the religion that they never have had before."The Deeper Song" concerns a gifted young woman struggling to be recognized in a patriarchal society and to understand the painful choices made by her mother and other women.
