When Mary Magdelene is born into a Jewish family in a small town on the western bank of the Sea of Galilee, no one has any idea of the impact she will have on biblical history for thousands of years to come. As she grows up learning to have a reverence for God, celebrating auspicious days, and listening to the prayers and readings of the Torah, Mary eventually matures into a young woman who understands the value of charitable work, her family's business, and loving God.

Eventually Mary's life's journey leads her to realize that she enjoys her freedom more than the idea of marrying. It is only after she learns to ask for forgivness for her sins that fate leads Mary to meet the prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, and realize divine elation. After he recruits her to join his ministry, Mary sets down a path to meet her destiny as she defies the odds and throws herself into pioneering work to develop the early Christian church.

In this inspirational novel, the coming-of-age journey and subsequent tumultuous life of Mary Magdalene is revealed as she meets Christ and influences the genesis of Christianity.
