A story of Mary, mother of Jesus and Joanna, wife of Chuza, chief steward to Herod Antipas. The story is of two brave women who lives change by meeting each other in adulthood. They are actually cousins and Joanna asks Mary to send Jesus to her to heal her. After that, her life changes, completely. Quite a good book. Fast reading.
