This is the story of Ana, wife of Jesus, but also author, friend, and prophet in her own right.

I quite enjoyed this story and how it wove through the biblical life of Jesus. Despite the subject matter, it never felt preachy and kind of made Jesus more accessible as a man who lived a full life before his crucifixion. 

I enjoyed the characters and felt attached to the story, even though the ending was clear from the beginning (as I suppose it would be given the subject).
