Growing up by the Sea of Galilee, Salome is restless to find her place and purpose. Because of her wild temperament and quick tongue, some claim she'll never secure a future. When Adonai gifts her both a husband and sons, Salome is determined to silence her critics and prove she can be a good mother to her boys, James and John.

Salome's dreams for her sons are challenged, however, when they answer the call to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Is this man a dangerous false teacher like some who've come before him, or is he truly the hoped-for Messiah? While James and John are drawn deeper into Jesus's ministry, Salome must count the cost of discipleship and confront her fears, even as she discovers her own worth in this most unexpected rabbi.

My Thoughts:

I honestly didn't know what I was in for when I started this book. I knew Salome was James and John's mother, but I had no idea the richness that Ms. Kaufman was going place within the pages of this book. It was clear that Heather Kaufman did quite a lot of research to write this book. I'm very sad to see this series come to a close.
