On Living Stone
Book 3 of the Women of the Way series
Salome grows up beside the Sea of Galilee determined to prove that the quick-tempered girl others dismiss can build a meaningful life. Marriage and motherhood give her two sons, James and John, whose decision to follow Jesus of Nazareth eventually overturns the future she imagined for them. As opposition to Jesus intensifies, Salome must weigh maternal fear against the transforming faith she sees taking root in her family. This biblical historical novel imagines the mother of two apostles through family devotion, discipleship, sacrifice, and a woman learning that her own worth is not confined to the roles others assign her.
