Leads pull R beyond her comfort zone into a world that still breathes without permission, and to a locked room where a single act of mercy sets a quiet revolution in motion.

Mary Magdalene is the closest eyewitness to Jesus of Nazareth. Song of Magdala brings to life her legend. The saying, "Behind every great man is a great woman," applies to this book. Jesus, the great man, receives the help and support of this great woman. Mary Magdalene gives her eyewitness account of Jesus' ministry from their days in Galilee and Judea, all the way to his death and resurrection. She reveals much that history never recorded-personal and public aspects about Jesus and the disciples; things that only she is privy to-secrets that Jesus shared with only her.

In a voice both intimate and poetic, she reflects on the loves that marked her, the wounds that linger, and the woman she is still becoming.

And then, slowly, fiercely, found her way back.
