As new beginnings force Maggie Blume to explore who she is and what she can be, Mary Magdalene's spirit shows up, asking Maggie to write down Mary's words. Maggie's life then echoes Mary Magdalene's, sharing challenges of self-discovery, loss, faith, paradox, relationship, and spiritual connection. These two inspirational stories-one truth, one fiction; one ancient, one now-converge and intertwine, demonstrating the demands life has always placed on independent women, and how they rise to face it. Mary Magdalene is speaking directly to you in this book; Mary's words are hers, transcribed by author Aliyah Schick, as Mary reaches out to touch your heart. Maggie Blume's story is 21st century fiction, wrapping around and through Mary's words as Maggie engages with the same obstacles Mary faced long ago. Both Maggie Blume and Mary Magdalene walk a woman's path-facing what comes, wanting to be and do the best they can, and stretching to become their true, whole selves.
