MY THOUGHTS:

This book was breath taking!  I have often wondered how Mary felt about things.  How her life was before, during and after Christ.  Although I realize this is completely fiction and made up, Laura's words made it seem real.  I was totally emerged in the story.  I was walking on the dirt road, feeling the dust on my skin.  I LOVE stories like that.  Chapter 37 made me feel as if I was standing at the cross during the Crucifixion.  I was filled with emotion!  This is a book everyone should read!!  I will be reading it again and again.  I believe this is her first book... I really hope she writes more books.  She has such a way with words.  I'm going to read this with my kids!!
