I've read many stories about Mary of Magdalene, but this is the first one that is contemporary in my opinion. Daughter of Jerusalem follows the live of Mary from her first marriage until she meets Jesus. The writing is keen and Wolf has a knack of painting vivid pictures with her words. Jerusalem just comes to life, creating an authentic background for Wolf's Magdalene.

Inspiring, emotional and complex, Daughter of Jerusalem is a compelling read. It makes me want to be a better person after reading about Mary and Jesus. Their faith is unwavering and their love for one another shines through as well. I loved this book and highly recommend it!
