A long time ago (like 10-15 years), I read a library book called "The
Unwilling Vestal" which takes place in Rome during the Empire and tells
the story of a young girl who, by a series of circumstances, is the only
person in Rome who can take the place of a Vestal who had just died.
Through duty (dharma), she becomes a Vestal and the rest of the books 
is about life amongst the Vestals and how it differs from the life of
an ordinary Roman citizen:  the advantages and the life-threatening
hazards.
If anyone knows of this book, I would like to either purchase a copy
or simply get the author's name so I can do a book-search.
Thanx muchly.
