Mary Rourke 'Two Women of Galilee" - a novel. Hardcover, like new condition.  Wife to Chuza, King HerodâÂÂs chief steward, Joanna lives a life of luxury in the city of Sepphoris, the jewel of the Galilee. Yet not even the finest doctors can restore health to her lungs, which have ailed her since childhood. But Joanna has heard talk of a local healer, and the rumors intrigue her. She has only once seen this Jesus of Nazareth from a distance, thronged by mobs proclaiming his latest miracle. His mother is JoannaâÂÂs own cousin Mary, whose family disowned Joanna for forsaking Jewish law in favor of Roman customs. Intending to ask her estranged cousin to arrange a meeting with her son, Joanna sets off on the dusty road to Nazareth. Jesus indeed has the power to heal JoannaâÂÂs body, but it is her soul that blossoms through her friendship with Mary, and as one of Jesusâ disciples. But as word of Jesusâ miracles reach HerodâÂÂs court and the ruler becomes increasingly wary of his fame among the people, intrigue, treachery, and murder cast shadows onto JoannaâÂÂs new path, changing her life forever.
