Dr Giselle Gelis and Dr David Rettig meet at a conference, she is a biblical professor and he is an archeologist.
Her faith is of the outmost importance to her. He is an atheist. On the surface, you’d think they would never work. But they are both quirky, kind hearted intellectuals. You soon believe that they actually shouldn’t be without each other.
But in the background a mystery is unfolding.
There are alternating chapters in the book telling the story of a priest many years ago who discovered secret documents hidden inside the walls of the church.
The documents become a part of the present day story as well.
The documents potentially prove a marriage between Mary Magdalene and Jesus.
The implications could be life shattering for many involved and at the very least they would be life altering.
Giselle’s faith is at the heart of her. She could possibly accept the idea that Jesus had married but the further questions that arise are ones she will not accept.
This puts a serious strain on her relationship with David.
I enjoyed this story very much.
I like how parts of the story were grounded in truth but the author was able to take liberties in order to create a story for Giselle and David.
I liked the characters and their relationship. It was quite romantic at times and quite difficult for them at other moments.
I think you could be a believer or a non believer and appreciate this story. I say that because I think it needs said with a storyline like this.
I got to read an early e book edition of this book through a NetGalley and thoroughly enjoyed it.
