Publisher's summary

One little drop to soil her garment. One little drop to cleanse her soul.

Abigail was born free, but when her parents die, she's sold into slavery to the family of a Roman soldier in Jerusalem. Fortunately, the Visibullis family is kind, and as years pass, she's proud to serve them. But Abigail's beauty attracts unwanted attention when their son, Jason, returns from Rome. She doesn't dare to defy him . . . but how can she ever love him as he demands?

As Jerusalem boils with political unrest and the stories of a rabbi named Jesus who snags Jason's attention, Abigail struggles to find her new place in the family. But then tragedy strikes, and her world is shattered. Desperate for justice, Abigail attends a trial for the criminal responsible—Barabbas. She instead finds herself in the path of Jesus, condemned to die in Barabbas's place. And when a stray drop of the rabbi's blood falls upon her, she knows Jason had been right. This Man really is the Son of God.

Only in the wake of His touch can she find what her heart has always longed for. Love, in the place she least expected to find it . . . and freedom for a soul that had resigned itself to slavery.

A Good Read☺️

I think the only issues I had while reading this book was when Abigail and Tito told a few lies while buying a slave, and also feeling like I was reading a romance novel a few times throughout the book🤷🏻‍♀️ I think that most people who read Christian novels, are not really wanting to see those things in a Christian book, but other than that, I really enjoyed the book☺️

Speed up the narrator it’s worth it

It took a few chapters to get used to the narrator, and I had to speed her up, but it was well worth it. Great characters and story

Amazing!!!

I have recently discovered this author and this book was by far her best. The story line and plot left you on the edge of your seat. Love this book and it will be one of my favorites.

The narrator could have been better.

There were a few adult themes but they were handled respectfully and without explicit exposure.

The best book I’ve read!

First off, I love how long it was. It was like watching a movie that continued as I love long movies.

The story had me guessing the whole time when i usually would have figured out the plot line quickly, but not this time.

Really a perfect story in so many ways. I had to get used to the narrator and her voice dragged but in the end it was okay-ish.

Great story but difficult narration

Something about the audio on this one-the narrator hisses all the s’s. It took a long time to get used to and still made me cringe. I only persisted since it’s already one of my favorite books!

Enjoyed…but a little too sensual IMO

I love this author, but I’m glad I read the sequel before this one. This book is good, especially when I decided I didn’t have to cringe my way through the super sensual parts. Once I started to fast forward through those sections, it was way more enjoyable.

Lovely biblical fiction with amazing twists!

I LOVED this book! I loved how long it was, I loved feeling the excitement of getting back to the book and falling into the beautiful story! I loved Abigail and Jason and Titos! I loved witnessing Jesus's redemptive power in all these peoples stories and the way God used their experiences for His glory! Amazing book! One I'd buy as a hard copy for my modest library!

one of my fav books / disappointing narration

just started this book, it's one of my favorites. I've read it multiple times. I'll stick with with it because I know I love the story but it's a bit grating with all the breathy lilting...

Loved the story/narrative was rough

I am glad I finished the book but it took a long time to adjust to the narratives voice. It definitely is more ‘romance novel’ than I expected but I get why and truly enjoyed the last several chapters has it all came together.

Good story

The story was very good, but I almost did not give it a chance because of the narrator.
