Make Your Selection: The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd

Scholarly Ana writes narratives about society's silenced women. Upset by the prospect of marrying a much older man, she encounters an 18-year-old Jesus and everything changes. Their marriage evolves with love and conflict, humor and pathos. Amid resistance to Rome's occupation, partially led by her brother, Ana commits a brazen act that puts her in peril. The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize her potential.
