This book changed my life. I bought it when it first came out but realized very quickly I was not ready for it. Four years later, I’m grateful it found me again. Every woman I know needs to read this book. Sue Monk Kidd has outdone herself.

This was a well-paced story of women whose lives were, in various ways, connected to Jesus Christ as a historic being. The character development is most robust for the women in the story and the author allows historically relevant details to shine.
