Abigail loses everything and is left with little promise of a normal
life. When she discovers the Messiah and joins his followers, she also
discovers new meaning and purpose. Maybe she does have a future after
all. But increasing persecution is scattering the burgeoning group "to
the ends of the earth." And Abigail may have given her heart to the
wrong man.
Two suitors desire the lovely Abigail's hand in marriage. One is a
successful Hebrew merchant and widower looking for a mother for his
children. On the other side is the Roman soldier Linux, who is
captivated by her winsome charm and could offer the sanctuary--maybe
even the love--for which she yearns. But her heart has been captured by
neither of these. Stephen, one of the leaders of The Way, has a
character and a faith that move her deeply, but his outspoken preaching
has marked him for assassination. Will her faith and courage withstand a
heartbreak beyond comprehension?
And then a glimmer of hope appears, one she never would have foreseen.
