Focusing on the perspective of a midwife in a small Judean village during the Roman Empire, the narrative reimagines the Christmas story through her eyes. Drawing from apocryphal gospels and legends, it delves into the complexities of joy and grief in that era, while highlighting the profound mystery of birth central to the tale of Jesus. The combination of evocative storytelling and illustrations enhances the emotional depth of this unique retelling.
