Notes

Set in Judea in 71AD during Vespasian's occupation, this was a time when the army of Rome swept through the land like blood-stained locusts devouring and destroying all in their path. Two young Jewish sisters, an injured Roman slave left for dead, and a goat, hide in a cave with the girls' great-great-grandmother who remembers when she knew 'Maryiam of Nazareth'. The young woman whom we know as the mother of Jesus, who was never 'just a girl'.
Based on primary sources, this book tells the story of the Mary behind the legend, of her life and her extraordinary legacy, still an inspiration after 2000 years.
