==Abstract==

The novel focuses on the relationship between Mary of Nazareth and her distant cousin Joanna, mentioned in the Bible as "the wife of Herod's steward Chuza," who accompanied Jesus and the disciples.

"Seeking to restore health to her lungs, Joanna, wife to Herod's chief steward, approaches her cousin Mary, mother of the healer Jesus. Though their families were estranged when Joanna's parents adopted Roman ways, Mary welcomes her graciously. Jesus indeed heals Joanna's body…and her soul blossoms through her friendship with Mary and with her work as one of his disciples. But as word of Jesus' miracles reaches King Herod's court, intrigue, treachery and murder cast shadows onto Joanna's new path, changing her life forever."--Publisher description.
