When Shoshan's peaceful, dreamless sleep is shattered by a familiar Voice whispering her name, she struggles to remember not only where she is but who she is. Why is she lying in the dark, wrapped in cloth that smells of sweet herbs and fragrant oils, as if she had...died? Where are her husband and her precious baby?

Shoshan makes her way from the tombs to the holy city of Jerusalem and learns that Jesus, her teacher, has been crucified. Devastated, she recalls her own death. Yet somehow, she has been restored to life through Jesus's sacrifice.

When those who were resurrected are hunted by Roman guards, Shoshan hurries to her brother's home for safety. She finds her brother and his pregnant wife desperately ill. Shoshan knows she has been raised for a reason-but is it only to care for her kin, or does God have a greater purpose for returning her to life?
