Purple. The foundation of an influential trade in a Roman world dominated by men. One woman rises up to take the reins of success in an incredible journey of courage, grit, and friendship. And along the way, she changes the world. But before she was Lydia, the seller of purple, she was simply a merchant's daughter who loved three things: her father, her ancestral home, and making dye. Then unbearable betrayal robs her of nearly everything. With only her father's secret formulas left, Lydia flees to Philippi and struggles to establish her business on her own. Determination and serendipitous acquaintances - along with her father's precious dye - help her become one of the city's preeminent merchants. But fear lingers in every shadow until Lydia meets the Apostle Paul and hears his message of hope, becoming his first European convert. Still, Lydia can't outrun her secrets forever, and when past and present collide, she must either stand firm and trust in her fledgling faith or succumb to the fear that has ruled her life.

So much more than a romance novel.
my favorite part is everything after Paul and the other men show up. No, make that after 20 years. No, make that after she moved to Phillipi. No, make that ... well dang, make that the whole book. Excellent story, written well, no loose ends... I will probably read it again and again.

Tessa Afshar is becoming my favorite writter.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Bread of!Angels! The story of Lydia was full of heart a d heartache, fear and courage, Faith and love! I love purple myself, and enjoyed cheering for this you g woman overcoming the odds! There was just enough direct Biblical references to make it feel familiar but deepening my Vision of the Philippian church

Delightful and inspiring!

I like this author but just wasnt as into this book as I have been with others. the story line was somewhat predictable and slow.

Not one of her better novels

This was a new narrator for me and she is awesome. I listen to all my books because I’m blind. This book is so rich in Biblical history. I really enjoyed the portrayal of Paul, though he was a minor character. Looking forward to more by this author. I always pre order her books when they become available.

Tessa Afshar is one of my favorites! This is the story of Lydia, being kind, living with integrity, and how God works all things together for good for those who love Him.

Great Reading and Character Development

I know this was fictional but feel that so much time was spent by the author is researching what Biblical records it made the reading of this account very plausible. Thank you for this well written and well researched book! The Bible has so many treasures.
