Abstract

"A fictional account of the life of Jesus' sister and Judas' wife ... The story of the life of Jesus from the point of view of his adopted sister Deborah, who was at the foot of the cross as he died. After his death, her name and work were wiped from history, not simply because she was a woman but also because she knew what truly happened at the Garden of Gethsemane."--Publisher description.
