""This novel shows us the power of belief to make ordinary people extraordinary. The martyrs we come to know here are not enshrined in stained glass or carved in marble; they are made of the same weak flesh that we are, and yet their faith makes them strong in a way that both humbles and exalts us. And it's a gripping story, too!"" --Richard Wakefield, Emeritus Professor of Humanities, Tacoma Community College ""In this beautifully crafted narrative, we experience the sights, sounds, and texture of the lives of Perpetua and Felicitas; we enter the inner world of their thoughts and hearts. Woven into their life experiences is their journey of faith: what it meant to choose and be chosen by Christ, even unto death in the Carthaginian arena. Through this complex and gripping story these martyrs become women we now know well. Our lives of faith are enriched!"" --Catherine Otto, Member, St. Mary's Parish, Corvallis, Oregon
