Mary's Story
A Novel about the Mother of Jesus
Laura Garnett
Historical Novel on the Mother of Jesus. It wasn’t until I was middle aged (and when is that now, by the way) I began to see how little the bible tells us about Mary, the mother of Jesus, the most pivotal person in history. She was a real person, and I wanted to bring her to life in a story that is true to the Bible and that helps us think more about her and other individuals we meet there. What might their lives been like both and before and after having their courses laid out directly by God? They were people, like us with their weakness still there
