    About this ebook

    Seeking to restore health to her lungs, Joanna, wife to Herod's chief steward, approaches her cousin Mary, mother of the healer Jesus. Though their families were estranged when Joanna's parents adopted Roman ways, Mary welcomes her graciously. Jesus indeed heals Joanna's body and her soul blossoms through her friendship with Mary and with her work as one of his disciples. But as word of Jesus' miracles reaches King Herod's court, intrigue, treachery and murder cast shadows onto Joanna's new path, changing her life forever.

      Mary Rourke has created a ficticious tale concerning Joanna who is only briefly mentioned in the Bible. She is wiife to Chuza (King Herod's chief steward) and also a follower of Jesus. This is a great read!
    • 4/5
      The two woman are Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joanna, the wife of the Herod's chief steward Chuza. Joanna only gets a brief mention in the Bible, but here the author has her tell her story in detail. Along the way she does a great job of capturing the historial feel of the first century. Joanna is also a believable character, from her motivation to meet Jesus because of a personal illness to her subsequent support of his ministry. Her life changes drastically, but she finds something she was missing along the way. The only quibble I had with this book was the words the author put in Jesus' mouth (always a risky proposition). I wasn't sure about the message she seemed to be trying to push there, that it was a genuine "Jesus" message. But of course that is a matter of my own opinion, the rest of the story was wonderful and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical/Biblical fiction.
