Twenty-five years after the crucifixion, Mary Magdalene leads a
double life as Jesu's disciple and Susannah, the wealthy heir of an
international import/export business in incense and perfume. But
someone is watching, her two identities threaten to merge and she
must flee Jerusalem. Her journey begins with voices and visions
that first drag her into the past and then propel her forward,
through the temples of strange gods, across deserts and seas, to
experience a near death experience, an unexpected initiation and a
dangerous storm at sea. Her outer journey reflects the inner as
Magdalene grapples with tradition and duty to discover her heart's
desire.
Demi-orphaned Sara, abandoned en route to Paris by her father and
new stepmother, finds herself standing on the doorstep of her
grandfather's villa in the hills above Nice. Opening the door, she
finds herself in the midst of a new world, full of color and
mystery. Why can't Grandpere know of her friendship with blind
Jacques and his seeing-eye dog Ben? What do Ludmilla's mysterious
tarot cards portend? Sara's new friends hint at an important task
that only she can do. Meanwhile, Grandfather Matisse is teaching
her about color. She begins to see the world with fresh eyes.
Sara's life changes by the moment as she discovers new qualities
and skills within herself. Soon, she will be tested. A lonely
journey will take her deep beneath the ground to come face to face
with the mystery of the Black Madonna.

recognize him immediately and delight in seeing their own
experiences, reactions and emotions validated in these revealing
snapshots by poet, Christine Irving.
